The Living God. The God that made the world / Made it, and stood aside to watch and wait, / Arranging a predestined plan / To save the erring soul of man- / Undying destiny-unswerving fate. / I see his hand in the path of life, / His law to doom and save, / His love divine in the hopes that shine / Beyond the sinner's grave, / His care that sendeth sun and rain, / His wisdom giving rest, / His price of sin that we may not win / The heaven of the blest.
Not near enough! Not clear enough! / O God, come nearer still! / I long for thee! Be strong for me! / Teach me to know thy will!
