A Hymnal for Friends #50
1 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;
2 Thou wilt not leave us in the dust;
Thou madest man, he knows not why,
He thinks he was not made to die:
And Thou hast made him: Thou art just.
3 Thou seemest human and divine,
The highest, holiest manhood, Thou;
Our wills are ours, we know not how;
Ours wills are ours, to make them Thine.
4 Our little systems have their day;
They have their day and cease to be;
They are but broken lights of Thee,
And Thou, O Lord, art more than they.
AMEN.
