##(Verse 1)
Within the Father's house The Son hath found His home; And to His temple suddenly The Lord of Life hath come.

##(Verse 2)
The doctors of the law Gaze on the wondrous child, And marvel at His gracious words Of wisdom undefiled.

##(Verse 3)
Yet not to them is giv'n The mighty truth to know, To lift the fleshly veil which hides Incarnate God below.

##(Verse 4)
The secret of the Lord Escapes each human eye, And faithful pond'ring hearts await The full epiphany.

##(Verse 5)
Lord, vis-it Thou our souls, And teach us by Thy grace Each dim revealing of Thyself With loving awe to trace;

##(Verse 6)
Till from our darkened sight
The cloud shall pass away,
And on the cleansèd soul shall burst
The everlasting day.

##(Verse 7)
Till we behold Thy face,
And know, as we are known,
Thee, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Co-equal Three in One.
