EN 309 Beyond, Beyond That Boundless Sea

1Kgs.19.11

Versi Version 1

1

Beyond, beyond that boundless sea,

Above the dome of sky,

Farther than thought itself can flee,

Thy dwelling is on high;

Yet dear the awful thought to me,

That Thou, my God, art nigh.

2

Art nigh, and yet my laboring mind

Feels after Thee in vain,

Thee in these works of power to find,

Or to Thy seat attain;

Thy messenger, the stormy wind;

Thy path, the trackless main;

3

These speak of Thee with loud acclaim:

They thunder forth Thy praise,

The glorious honor of Thy Name,

The wonders of Thy ways;

But Thou art not in tempest-flame,

Nor in day’s glorious blaze.

4

We hear Thy voice, when thunders roll

Through the wide fields of air:

The waves obey Thy dread control;

Yet still Thou art not there.

Where shall I find Him, O my soul,

Who yet is everywhere?

5

O! not in circling depth or height,

But in the conscious breast,

Present to faith, though veiled from sight,

There doth His Spirit rest.

O come, Thou Presence infinite!

And make Thy creature blest.
