1 One beyond all, you love us to call you; what name will reach you, what voice can teach you? Hand cannot clasp you, mind cannot grasp you: where can we find you, lost humankind? 2 No thought without you, all words about you; none were before you, all things adore you, silent or speaking, circling or seeking, groaning and longing make you their song. 3 One sign has shown you, one heart has known you; one way was pointed, one Son anointed: crowds gathered near him eager to hear him; who has received him, who will believe? 4 Manger-wood held him, tree timber killed him; when metal nailed him, iron impaled him: stone has concealed him, garden revealed him; God has upraised him, all heavens praise! 5 Here is our ending, outcasts befriending; here our beginning, losers are winning: now we shall name him, love and proclaim him; end our disorder Jesus our Lord!
