HYMN 4. The Wisdom of GOD great.

1

We of thy Wisdom will, O Lord,
not only speak but sing;
For 'tis from hence that all true Good
to us, O Lord, doth spring.

2

Thy Wisdom and most Sovereign Grace
most gloriously do shine;
Let us see it with open Face,
and Praise that Name of thine.

9

3

In thy own Wisdom let's be Wise;
thy Wisdom let's Adore,
And trust in it, so shall we, Lord,
sing Praise for Evermore.

4

Thy Wisdom is a mighty deep,
which Angels do admire;
Creation-Work demonstrates it,
Redemption rises higher.

5

The wonder of thy Wisdom, Lord,
and sublime Rule likewise,
Tis o'er all Things, and Persons here,
and marv'lous in our Eyes.

6

All Wisdom Saints and Angels have,
from Thee it doth proceed;
And from thy Wisdom we receive
all good things we do need.

7

Of thy amazing Wisdom then
we'll sing continually;
And unto Thee, let Foolish Men
for Wisdom daily cry!
