429. O thou in all thy might so far

1 O THOU in all thy might so far,
In all thy love so near,
Beyond the range of sun and star,
And yet beside us here.

2 What heart can comprehend thy name,
Or searching find thee out,
Who art within, a quickening flame,
A presence round about?

3 Yet though I know thee but in part,
I ask not, Lord, for more;
Enough for me to know thou art,
To love thee and adore.

4 And dearer than all things I know
Is childlike faith to me,
That makes the darkest way I go
An open path to thee.
