Thou Great Mysterious God Unknown

Thou great mys­te­ri­ous God un­known

Whose love hath gent­ly led me on

E’en from my in­fant days

Mine in­most soul ex­pose to view

And tell me if I ev­er knew

Thy jus­ti­fy­ing grace

Thy jus­ti­fy­ing grace.

If I have on­ly known Thy fear

And fol­lowed

with a heart sin­cere

Thy draw­ings from ab­ove

Now

let the fur­ther grace be­stow

And let my sprin­kled con­sci­ence know

Thy sweet for­giv­ing love

Thy sweet for­giv­ing love.

Father

in me re­veal Thy Son

And to my in­most soul make known

How mer­ci­ful Thou art;

The sec­ret of Thy love re­veal

And by Thy hal­low­ing Spir­it dwell

Forever in my heart

Forever in my heart!

If now the wit­ness were in me

Would He not tes­ti­fy of Thee

In Je­sus re­con­ciled?

And should I not with faith draw nigh

And bold­ly

Ab­ba

Fa­ther

cry

And know my­self Thy child

And know my­self Thy child?
