EN 3760 Within the Father’s House
Luke.2.46
Versi Version 1
1
Within the Father’s house
The Son hath found His home;
And to His temple suddenly
The Lord of Life hath come.
2
The doctors of the law
Gaze on the wondrous Child,
And marvel at His gracious words
Of wisdom undefiled.
3
Yet not to them is giv’n
The mighty truth to know,
To lift the fleshly veil which hides
Incarnate God below.
4
The secret of the Lord
Escapes each human eye,
And faithful pondering hearts await
The full epiphany.
5
Lord, visit Thou our souls,
And teach us by Thy grace
Each dim revealing of Thyself
With loving awe to trace;
6
Till from our darkened sight
The cloud shall pass away,
And on the cleansed soul shall burst
The everlasting day.
7
Till we behold Thy face,
And know, as we are known,
Thee, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Co-equal Three in One.
