XCVIII.
[The wisdom own'd by all Thy sons]
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of
wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy Ones is understanding.
Proverbs ix. 10.
The wisdom own'd by all Thy sons,
To me, O God, impart,
The knowledge of the Holy Ones,
The understanding heart:
Thy name, O holy Father, tell
To one who would believe,
To me Thy holy Son reveal,
Thy holy Spirit give.
'Tis life, eternal life to know
The heavenly persons mine;
Father, and Son, and Spirit, bestow
That precious faith Divine:
A Trinity in Unity
My soul shall then adore,
And love, and praise, and worship Thee
Jehovah evermore.
