Nicholson & Lee, eds. The Oxford Book of English Mystical Verse. 1917.

Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809–1892)

97. The Human Cry

HALLOWED be Thy name—Halleluiah!—

Infinite Ideality!

Immeasurable Reality!

Infinite Personality!

Hallowed be Thy name—Halleluiah!

We feel we are nothing—for all is Thou and in Thee;

We feel we are something—that also has come from Thee;

We know we are nothing—but Thou wilt help us to be.

Hallowed be Thy name—Halleluiah!
