English poem
A HYMN. (Darkness pervades the mind)
Darkness pervades the mind, And clouds prevent the light, That few Jehovah Jesus know, Or worship him aright.
But Lord, we come to thee, And bow before thy throne; In thy Divine Humanity, Thou art our God alone.
Thy esse none can see, That is beyond our sight; But thy Divine Humanity Is seen in heav'nly light.
Thou art the only God, The only Man art thou; And only thee our souls adore, At thy bless'd feet we bow.
In essence thou art one, And one in person too; Tho' in thy essence seen by none, Thy person we may view.
The Human made Divine, Our souls with joy adore; And soon with angels we shall join, To praise and love thee more.
