52

Thou hidden Love of God, whose height,

Whose depth unfathomed, no man knows; I see from far Thy beauteous light,

Inly I sigh for Thy repose;

My heart is pained, nor can it be At rest, till it find rest in Thee.

'Tis mercy all, that Thou hast brought,

My heart to seek for peace in Thee;

Yet while I seek, but find Thee not,

No peace my wandering mind shall see;

Oh, when shall all my wanderings end, And all my steps to Theeward tend?

Is there a thing beneath the sun

That strives with Thee my heart to share? AM tear it thence, and reign alone

The Lord of every motion there;

THE GOODNESS OF GOD Then shall my heart from pain be free When it hath found repose in Thee. O Lord, Thy sovereign aid impart,

To save me from low thoughted care chase this selfwill through all my heart,

Through all its latent mazes there: Make me Thy duteous child, that I Ceaseless may Abba, Father, cry !
