With deepest reverence at thy throne,
Jehovah, peerless and unknown!
Our feeble spirits strive, in vain,
A glimpse of thee, great God! to gain.

2

Who, by the closest search, can find
The eternal, uncreated mind?
Nor men nor angels can explore
Thy hights of love, thy depths of power.

3

That power we trace on every side;
O may thy wisdom be our guide;
And while we live, and when we die,
May thy almighty love be nigh.
