SPIRIT SEEKING LIGHT AND BEAUTY

Spirit seeking light and beauty,

Heart that longest for thy rest,

Soul that asketh understanding,

Only thus can ye be blest.

Thro’ the vastness of creation

Tho’ your restless thought may roam,

God is all that you can long for,

God is all his creatures' home.

SPIRIT SEEKING LIGHT AND BEAUTY

Taste and see him, feel and hear him,

Hope and grasp his unseen hand;

Tho’ the darkness seem to hide him,

Faith and love can understand.

God, who lovest all thy creatures,

All our hearts are known to thee;

Lead us thro’ the land of shadows

To thy blest eternity.
