Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

O thou that movest all, O Power 
Men and Women sing. 
Men. O Thou that movest all, O Power That bringest life where'er Thou art, O Breath of God in star and flower, Mysterious aim of soul and heart ; Within the thought that cannot grasp Thee In its unfathomable hold, We worship Thee who may not clasp Thee, O God, unreckoned and untold ! 
Women. O Source and Sea of Love, O Spirit That makest every soul akin, O Comforter whom we inherit, We turn and worship Thee within ! To give beyond all dreams of giving, To lose ourselves as Thou in us, We long ; for Thou, O Fount of living, Art lost in Thy creation thus ! 
Men. The mass of unborn matter knew Thee, And lo ! the splendid silent sun Sprang out to be a witness to Thee Who art the All, who art the One ; The airy plants unseen that flourish Their floating strands of filmy rose, Too small for sight, are Thine to nourish ; For Thou art all that breathes and grows. 
Women. Thou art the ripening of the fallows, The swelling of the buds in rain ; Thou art the joy of birth that hallows The rending of the flesh in twain ; O Life, O Love, how undivided Thou broodest o'er this world of Thine, Obscure and strange, yet surely guided To reach a distant end divine ! 
Men. We know Thee in the doubt and terror That reels before the world we see ; We knew Thee in the faiths of error ; We know Thee most who most are free. This phantom of the world around Thee Is vast, divine, but not the whole : We worship Thee, and we have found Thee In all that satisfies the soul ! 
Men and Women. How shall we serve, how shall we own Thee, O breath of Love and Life and Thought ? 
How shall we praise, who are not shown Thee ? How shall we serve, who are as nought ? 
Yet, though Thy worlds maintain unbroken The silence of their awful round, A voice within our souls hath spoken, And we who seek have more than found.
