Knowledge at present imperfect

Author: Fawcett Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCXLV (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Graces of the Holy Spirit Knowledge; Spiritual knowledge; Knowledge Imperfect at present First Line: Thy way, O God, is in the sea Lyrics: 1 Thy way, O God, is in the sea, Thy paths I cannot trace; Nor comprehend the mystery Of thy unbounded Grace. 2 Here the dark veils of flesh and sense, My captive soul surround; Mysterious deeps of providence My wandering thoughts confound. 3 When I behold thy awful hand My earthly hopes destroy; In deep astonishment I stand, And ask the reason, why? 4 As thro' a glass, I dimly see The wonders of thy love; How little do I know of thee, Or of the joys above! 5 'Tis but in part I know thy will, I bless thee for the sight; When will thy love the rest reveal, In glory's clearer light? 6 With raptures shall I then survey Thy providence, and grace; And spend an everlasting day In wonder, love, and praise.
