I ask a perfect creed!
Oh, that to me were given,
The teaching that leads none astray,
The scholarship of heaven!
Sure wisdom and pure light,
With lowly, loving fear ;
The steadfast, ever-looking eye,
The ever-listening ear.
Calm faith that grasps the word
Of Him who cannot lie;
That hears alone the voice divine,
Though crowds are standing by.
The one, whole truth I seek,
In this sad age of strife;
The truth of Him who is the Truth,
And in whose truth is life.
O True One, give me truth!
And let it quench in me
The thirst of this long-craving heart,
And set my spirit free.
