The Spirituality of God

What know we, Holy God, of Thee,
Thy being and Thine essence pure ?
Too bright the very mystery
For mortal vision to endure.

We only know Thy word sublime,
Thou art a Spirit ! Perfect ! One !
Unlimited by space or time,
Unknown but through the eternal Son.

By change untouched, by thought untraced,
And by created eye unseen,
In Thy great Present is embraced
All that shall be, all that hath been.

O Father of our spirits, now
We seek Thee in our Saviour's face ;
In truth and spirit we would bow,
And worship where we cannot trace.
