Ellacombe -D.C.M.
1. We limit not the truth of God
To our poor reach of mind.
By notions of our day and sect,
Crude, partial, and confined:
No, let a new and better hope
Within our hearts be stirred:
The Lord hath yet more light and truth
To break forth from His word.
2. Darkling our great forefathers went
The first steps of the way;
‘Twas but the dawning, yet to grow
Into the perfect day.
And grow it shall, our glorious sun
More fervid rays afford:
3. The valleys past, ascending still,
Our souls would higher climb,
And look down from supernal heights
On all the bygone time.
Upward we press, the air is clear:
And the sphere music heard;
4. O Father, Son, and Spirit, send
Us increase from above,
Enlarge, expand all Christian souls
To comprehend Thy love;
And make us all go on to know.
With nobler powers conferred,
The Lord hath yet more light and truth
To break forth from His word.
-George Rawson
