Far Off, O God, And Yet Most Near

Far off, O God, and yet most near,

Unseen, yet shining clear in all,

Thy presence moves, Thy ways appear,

In system's rise and sparrow's fall.

Thy purpose through the ages ran,

Thy Word Thy prophets bore abroad,

Thy love became a Son of Man,

To make men with Him sons of God.

Our eyes Thy loveliness discern,

Where nature weaves Thy wondrous dress,

And in sweet human lives we learn

The beauty of Thy holiness.

Our lives within Thy being stand,

Our sciences omniscience prove,

Thy law is but Thy clasping hand,

Thine order is Thy perfect love.
