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