[Far off we need not rove]
Though He be not far from every one, &c.
—xvii. 27, 28.
Far off we need not rove
To find the God of love,
In His providential care
Ever intimately near,
All His various works declare
God, the bounteous God, is here!
To find the God of love,
In His providential care
Ever intimately near,
All His various works declare
God, the bounteous God, is here!
We live, and move, and are
Through His preserving care;
He doth still in life maintain
Every soul that moves and lives;
Gives us back our breath again,
Being every moment gives.

Who live O God in Thee,
Entirely Thine should be:
Thine we are a heaven-born race,
Only to Thy glory move,
Thee with all our powers we praise,
Thee with all our being love.
