Oh mysterious power! Oh infinite line! Construct me always by fire As a precious object refine. How can I love Jesus When we've never seen eye to eye He wants to live his way And he knows I'm wont to live mine. And do my duties and actions upon my d**h So incline; give a faithful reenactment Of his sacrifice divine? Oh mysterious power! Oh infinite line! Construct me always by fire As a precious object refine. Do I get this correctly, To achieve my proper share, I need not even live uprightly, or to my fellow man be fair? So this life has taught me Through domination, pain, and despair All is without reason, all is without plan, Life is surely then squandered questing for the purpose in man. Oh mysterious power! Oh infinite line! Construct me always by fire As a precious object you would refine.
