Thy way O God, is in the sea;
Thy paths I cannot trace:
Nor comprehend the mystery
Of thy unbounded grace.
Here the dark veils of flesh and sense
My captive soul surround;
Mysterious deeps of providence
My wand’ring thoughts confound.
“But who those depths can e’er unfold
Or those dark mazes show?
Too long the chain, the link too fine,
For mortal eyes to view:”
As through a glass, I dimly see
The wonders of thy love;
How little do I know of thee,
Or of the joys above?
'Tis but in part I know thy will:
I bless thee for the sight;
When will thy love the rest reveal,
In glory’s clearer light?
With raptures shall I then survey
Thy providence and grace;
And spend an everlasting day
In wonder, love and praise.
