Mysteries to be explained hereafter

Verse 1

Great God of providence! thy ways Are hid from mortal sight; Wrapt in impenetrable shades, Or cloth'd with dazzling light.

Verse 2

The wond'rous methods of thy grace, Evade the human eye; The nearer we attempt t' approach, The farther off they fly.

Verse 3

But in the world of bliss above, Where thou dost ever reign, These myst'ries shall be all unveil'd, And not a doubt remain.

Verse 4

The sun of righteousness shall there His brightest beams display, And not a hovering cloud obscure That never-ending day.
