126. L. M. Kippis. God Incomprehensible. 1 Great God! in vain man's narrow view Attempts to look thy nature through; Our laboring powers with reverence own Thy glories never can be known. 2 Not the high seraph's mighty thought, Who countless years his God has sought, Such wondrous height or depth can find, Or fully trace thy boundless mind. 3 And yet thy kindness deigns to show Enough for mortal minds to know; While wisdom, goodness, power divine, Through all thy works and conduct shine. 4 O, may our souls with rapture trace Thy works of nature and of grace: Explore thy sacred truth, and still Press on to know and do thy will.
