That lurk in its most secret part,

Thy searching eye doth scrutinize

Ere they to consciousness arise.

And never from my tongue a word

Escapes, by Thee, O Lord, unheard;

Thou order'st all I speak or do,

And guidest me life's journey through.

'Tis true, I know, but must remain

A knowledge I can ne'er attain,

A mystery beyond the ken
