¶Liedtext

Our God, to whom we turn when weary with illusion, whose stars serenely burn above this earth’s confusion, thine is the mighty plan, the steadfast order sure in which the world began, endures, and shall endure. Thou art thyself the truth; though we who seek to find thee have tried, with thoughts uncouth, in feeble words to bind thee, it is because thou art we’re driven to the quest; till truth from falsehood part, our hearts can find no rest. All beauty speaks of thee: the mountains and the rivers, the line of lifted sea, where spreading moonlight quivers, the hymns thy people raise, the psalms and anthems strong, hint at the glorious praise of thy eternal song. Where goodness comes to light we glimpse thy plan unfolding; where justice wins its fight thou art the Kingdom molding; the blood of friend as sign of love for comrade spilt, reflects the vast design by which thy house is built. Thou hidden fount of love, of peace, and truth, and beauty, inspire us from above with joy and strength for duty. May thy fresh light arise within each clouded heart, and give us open eyes to see thee as thou art.
