charles villiers stanford - strong son of god lyrics

Loading...

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;

thine are these orbs of light and shade;
thou madest life in man and brute;
thou madest death; and lo, thy foot
is on the skull which thou hast made

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

thou seemest human and divine
the highest, holiest manhood, thou:
our wills are ours, we know not how;
our wills are ours, to make them thine

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

we have but faith: we cannot know;
for knowledge is of things we see;
and yet we trust it comes from thee
a beam in darkness: let it grow
let knowledge grow from more to more
but more of reverence in us dwell;
that mind and soul, according well
may make one music as before

but vaster. we are fools and slight;
we mock thee when we do not fear:
but help thy foolish ones to bear;
help thy vain worlds to bear thy light

forgive what seem’d my sin in me;
what seem’d my worth since i began;
for merit lives from man to man
and not from man, o lord, to thee

forgive my grief for one removed
thy creature, whom i found so fair
i trust he lives in thee, and there
i find him worthier to be loved

forgive these wild and wandering cries
confusions of a wasted youth;
forgive them where they fail in truth
and in thy wisdom make me wise
