BERLIN

:2

II. IO.

Arranged from Mendelssohn

315

1 I cannot find thee. Still on restless pinion
My spirit beats the void where thou dost dwell;
I wander lost through all thy vast dominion,
And shrink beneath thy light ineffable.

2 I cannot find thee. E'en when, most adoring,
Before thy shrine I bend in lowliest prayer;
Beyond these bounds of thought, my thought upsoaring,
From furthest quest comes back: thou art not there.

3 Yet high above the limits of my seeing,

[blocks in formation]

A-MEN.

I Ancient of days, who sittest, thron'd in glory:
To thee all knees are bent, all voices pray;

Thy love has bless'd the wide world's wondrous story,
With light and life since Eden's dawning day.

2 O holy Father, who hast led thy children.

In all the ages, with the fire and cloud,

Through seas dry-shod; through weary wastes bewildering;
To thee, in reverent love, our hearts are bowed.

3 O holy Jesus, Prince of peace and Saviour,

To thee we owe the peace that still prevails,
Stilling the rude wills of men's wild behaviour,
And calming passion's fierce and stormy gales.
Bishop William C. Doane, 1832
