Hymns for Children, 12

O Thou whom none hath seen or known,
But He that in Thy bosom lies.
Thine heavenly best-beloved Son,
Creator both of earth and skies,
He only knows, and can explain
Thy Godhead to the sons of men.

Not all the things we read or hear
Can Thee unto our souls reveal.
Not all the art of man declare;
Thy Spirit must the secret tell.
Into our deepest darkness shine,
And manifest the things Divine.
Father of everlasting grace,
The Spirit of Thy Son impart
To us who humbly seek Thy face,
Who pray for light with all our heart.
And long to know Thy blessed will,
And all Thy counsel to fulfil.
