Strong Son of God
Alfred Tennyson (1849) • English
Primary Scripture: Proverbs 2:5-8
Verse 1
Strong Son of God, immortal Love, Whom we, that have not seen Thy face, By faith, and faith alone, embrace, Believing where we cannot prove;
Verse 2
Thou wilt not leave us in the dust; Thou madest man, he knows not why, He thinks he was not made to die: And Thou hast made him: Thou art just.
Verse 3
Thou seemest human and divine, The highest, holiest manhood, Thou; Our wills are ours, we know not how; Ours wills are ours, to make them Thine.
Verse 4
Our little systems have their day; They have their day and cease to be; They are but broken lights of Thee, And Thou, O Lord, art more than they.
Verse 5
AMEN.
