By A Collection of Hymns

      C.M. The same subject.
      1 FATHER of all, in whom alone
      We live, and move, and breathe,
      One bright celestial ray dart down,
      And cheer thy sons beneath.

      2 While in thy word we search for thee,
      (We search with trembling awe!)
      Open our eyes, and let us see
      The wonders of thy law.

      3 Now let our darkness comprehend
      The light that shines so clear;
      Now the revealing Spirit send,
      And give us ears to hear.

      4 Before us make thy goodness pass,
      Which here by faith we know;
      Let us in Jesus see thy face,
      And die to all below.
