Hymn 143

From The Christian Science Hymnal, 1932 edition

---

Imposture shrinks from light,
And dreads the piercing eye;
But sacred truths the test invite,
They bid us search and try.

With understanding blest,
Created to be free,
Our faith, O God, on Thee we rest,
Obeying none but Thee.

The truth Thou dost impart
May we with firmness own,
Abhorring each evasive art,
And loving Thee alone.
