"The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.... For this commandment which I command thee this day is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off" (Deuteronomy 29:29, 30:11). "The works of the Lord are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein" (Psalm 111:2).
Though secret things to God belong
He also has revealed
The things that give our heart a song
And give our faith a shield.
He has not hidden from our view
The precepts that we need,
But tells us what we ought to do
In thought, in word, and deed.
And best of all, He shows us Christ,
Our richest, highest Treasure!
His revelation has sufficed
To thrill our souls with pleasure.
