Alfred Tennyson (1889-1892).
Strong Son of God, immortal Love, Whom we, that have not seen thy face, By faith, and faith alone, embrace. Believing where we cannot prove;
Thou seemest human and divine, The highest, holiest manhood, thou: Our wills are ours, we know not how : Our wills are ours, to make them thine.
Our little systems have their day; They have their day and cease to be: They are but broken lights of thee, And thou, Lord, art more than they.
We have but faith : we cannot know; For knowledge is of things we see; And yet we trust it comes from thee, A beam in darkness : let it grow.
Let knowledge grow from more to more, But more of reverence in us dwell; That mind and soul, according well, May make one music as before,
But vaster: we are fools and slight, We mock thee when we do not fear: But help thy foolish ones to bear; Help thy vain world to bear thy light.
