Go Not My Soul In Search Of Him

Frederick Lucian Hosmer

6 Verses Christian Hymn Spiritual Song

Verse 1

Go not, my soul, in search of Him, Thou wilt not find Him there, Or in the depths of shadow dim, Or heights of upper air.

Verse 2

For not in far-off realms of space The Spirit hath His throne; In every heart He findeth place, And waiteth to be known.

Verse 3

Thought answereth alone to thought, And soul with soul hath kin; Thou outward God he findeth not, Who finds not God within.

Verse 4

And if the vision come to thee Revealed by inward sign, Earth will be full of Deity, And with His glory shine.

Verse 5

Thou shalt not want for company, Nor pitch thy tent alone; The indwelling God will go with thee, And show thee of His own.

Verse 6

O gift of gifts! O grace of grace, That God should condescend To make thy heart His dwelling-place And be thy daily Friend!
