Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GHGHII JHJFEE| O Thou Eternal One look down | A |
| Upon an erring child of earth | B |
| Thy handiwork with knowledge crown | A |
| Or life will seem of little worth | B |
| By Thine own light illume my way | C |
| And turn this darkness into day | C |
| - | |
| I hear a whisper in my heart | D |
| Than knowledge better far is love | E |
| Thy knowledge here is but in part | D |
| The perfect waits for Thee above | E |
| Walk now by faith and leave to me | F |
| The things now wrap'd in mystery | F |
| - | |
| Weighed down with mysteries profound | G |
| I lean upon Thy loving breast | H |
| The great unknown still girts me round | G |
| But Thou art mine and here I rest | H |
| Unsolved the mysteries remain | I |
| But they no longer give me pain | I |
| - | |
| My finite mind may never grasp | J |
| The thought of Thy immensity | H |
| But I Thy hand more firmly clasp | J |
| To feel Thee near suffices me | F |
| For Thou art knowledge power and love | E |
| The same in earth and heaven above | E |
