O THOU, who as our knowledge grows,
In this world's latter days,
The more thou seemst to clear the sky,
The more dost hide thy face.
In this world's latter days,
The more thou seemst to clear the sky,
The more dost hide thy face.
As fears of change, and fears of doubt,
Unnerve the o'er-wrought mind,
Enfeebled 'mid its added strength,
Mid all its seeing blind;
Unnerve the o'er-wrought mind,
Enfeebled 'mid its added strength,
Mid all its seeing blind;
The wider wisdom thou hast given
Yet is not wholly gain;
The truer vision scathes our sight;
We cannot see thee plain.
Yet is not wholly gain;
The truer vision scathes our sight;
We cannot see thee plain.
Enlarge our hearts and purge our eyes
To bear thy nearer light;
The world's young ignorance is o'er;
Make us to know thee right.
To bear thy nearer light;
The world's young ignorance is o'er;
Make us to know thee right.
