MY KNOWLEDGE.
THOUGH men confront the Living God
With wisdom than His word more wise,
And leaving paths apostles trod
Their own devise;
I would myself forsake and flee,
O Christ, the living Way, to Thee.
With wisdom than His word more wise,

Their own devise;
I would myself forsake and flee,
O Christ, the living Way, to Thee.
I know not what the schools may teach,
Nor yet how far from truth depart;
One lesson is within my reach,—
The Truth Thou art.
Aria learning this I learn each day
To cast all other lore away.

Aria learning this I learn each day
To cast all other lore away.
I cannot solve mysterious things
That fill the schoolmen's thoughts with strife;
But oh, what peace this knowledge brings—
Thou art the Life!
Hid in Thy everlasting deeps,
The silent God His secret keeps.
