The opening
I
To win, O Lord, to Thee The learned and the wise shall strive in vain, Useless their knowledge and their skill shall be Thy presence to attain.
And vain alike the quest Of those who earthly paths or heavenly choose, He who the peace of God attaineth best His very self must lose.
Thee in Thy infinite might All beings contemplate, and loud and sweet Through the seven earths and nine heavens high and bright Thy great Name they repeat.
Unseen, within the heart, Pervading all, and dwelling by our side, Close as our self, yet far aloof Thou art, Remote dost Thou abide.
The whole book is in the Sphinx app.
