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.
