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,
And leaving paths apostles trod
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.
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.
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.
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.
The Way, the Truth, the Life Thou art,
This,this I know; to this I cleave;
The sweet new language of my heart,
"Lord, I believe."
I have no doubts to bring to Thee;
My doubt has fled; my faith is free.
This,this I know; to this I cleave;
The sweet new language of my heart,
"Lord, I believe."
I have no doubts to bring to Thee;
My doubt has fled; my faith is free.
