O Source Divine, and Life of All

O Source divine, and life of all,
The Fount of being�s wondrous sea!
Thy depth would every heart appall
That saw not love supreme in Thee.

We shrink before Thy vast abyss,
Where worlds on worlds eternal brood:
We know Thee truly but in this�
That Thou bestowest all our good.

And so, �mid boundless time and space,
O grant us still in Thee to dwell,
And through the ceaseless web to trace
Thy presence working all things well.

Nor let Thou life�s delightful play
Thy truth�s transcendent vision hide;
Nor strength and gladness lead astray
From Thee, our nature�s only Guide.

Bestow on every joyous thrill
Thy deeper tones of reverent awe:
Make pure Thy children�s erring will,
And teach their hearts to love Thy law.
