| 1. Lord of the boundless curves of space
And time’s deep mystery,
To your creative might we trace
All nature’s energy.
2. Your mind conceived the galaxy,
Each atoms’s secret planned,
And every age of history
Your purpose, Lord, has spanned.
3. Your Spirit gave the living cell
Its hidden, vital force:
The instincts which all life impel
Derive from you, their source.
4. You gave the growing consciousness
That flowered at last in man,
With all his longing to progress,
Discover, shape and plan.
5. In Christ the living power of grace
To liberate and lead
Lights up the future of our race
With mercy’s crowning deed.
6. Lead us, whom love has made and sought,
To find, when planets fall,
That Omega of life and thought
Where Christ is all in all.
