Can reason comprehend a God?
Or learn the need of Jesu's blood?
Or can it tell the reason why
That thousand infants daily die?
If reason then must be our guide,
Can it unfold the ebbing tide?
Or tell us how the plants produce,
From the same earth their various juice?
Where reason fails, may I adore
God's boundless wisdom more and more;
Since nature round his power reveals,
And God in Christ my pardon seals.
