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.
