Obscura


in his blest name, who was his own creation 
who from all time makes his own vocation 
the name of him who makes our faith so bright 
love, confidence, activity and might 

in that ones name who named through oft he be 
unknown is ever in reality 
as far as our ear can reach 
or eyesight dim 

thou findest but the known resembling him 
how high soar thy fiery spirit hovers 
its smile and type it straight discovers 
onward, thou art drawn 
with feelings light and clear 

where ever thou goest, your mind is the way 
no more thou numbrest, reckonest no time 
each step is infinite, each step sublime 

unknown is ever in reality 
as far as our ear can reach 
or eyesight dim
