Divine Wisdom

Happy the man who learns to trace The leadings of Jehovah' s grace; By wisdom coming from above, He reads and learns that God is love.

Wisdom divine! who tells the price Of wisdom' s costly merchandise? Wisdom to silver we prefer, And gold is dross compared to her.

Her hands are filled with length of days, True riches and immortal praise; Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths lead unto peace.

Happy the man who wisdom gains; Thrice happy who his guest retains; He owns, and shall forever own, Wisdom and Christ are truly one.
