Hymns for Love, 22

Great God incomprehensible,
Unless Thou dost Thyself reveal
Thee we can never know,
Can never see without Thy light,
Or how to worship Thee aright.
Or what to Thee we owe.

15ut Thou hast told us in Thy word
And certified through Christ the Lord
That Thou our Father art;
Thy Spirit doth Thy mind explain.
And cries to every soul of man,
"My child, give Me thy heart!"

I would, but want the power to give.
Unless I previously receive
The blessing from above,
The wisdom peaceable and pure.
The knowledge of salvation sure.
The faith that works by love.

Help me with eyes of faith to see
Jehovah bleeding on the tree
For guilty worms to' atone.
Thy love for all mankind to buy.
The eternal God, the Lord most high.
Thy Fellow and Thy Son.

Thy dying love in me reveal,
And when the sprinkled blood I feel
I know Thee who Thou art,
My loving Father and my God,
I thank Thee for the grace bestow'd,
I give Thee all my heart,
