O world of God, so vast and
strange,
profound and wonderful and
fair,
Beyond the utmost reach of
thought,
but not beyond a Father's
care!
We are not strangers on
this earth
whirling amid the suns of
space;
We are God's children, this
our home,
with those of every clime
and race.
2
O world of man where life
is lived,
so strangely mingling joy
and pain,
So full of evil and of
good,
so needful that the good
shall reign!
It is this world that God
has loved,
and goodness was its
Maker's plan,
The promise of God's
triumph is
His coming in a Son of Man.
3
O world of time's
farstretching years!
there was a day when time
stood still,
A central moment when there
rose
across upon a cruel hill;
In pain and death love's
power was seen,
the mystery of time
revealed,
The wisdom of the ways of
God,
the grace through which
man's hurt is healed.
