Father of All, in Whom Alone

Father of all

in whom alone

We live

and move and breathe

One bright

ce­les­ti­al ray dart down

And cheer Thy sons be­neath.

While in Thy word we search for Thee

(We search with trem­bling awe)

Open our eyes

and let us see

The won­ders of Thy law.

Now let our dark­ness com­pre­hend

The light that shines so clear:

Now the re­veal­ing Spir­it send

And give us ears to hear.

Before us make Thy good­ness pass

Which here by faith we know;

Let us in Je­sus see Thy face

And die to all be­low.
