13542. Father Of All, In Whom Alone

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.
