When shall we see the Great Unknown,
And in thy presence stand?
Reveal the splendours of thy throne
But shield us with thy hand.

In Thee what endless wonders meet!
What various glory shines!
The crossing rays too fiercely beat
Upon our fainting minds.

Angels are lost in sweet surprise
If Thou unveil thy grace;

And humble awe runs through the skies
When wrath arrays thy face.

When mercy joins with majesty

To spread their beams abroad,
Not all the fairest minds on high
Are shadows of a God.

Thy works the strongest Seraph sings
In a too feeble strain,

And labours hard on all his strings
To reach thy thoughts in vain.

Created Powers, how weak they be!
How short our praises fall!

So much akin to nothing we

And Thou the Eternal All.
