[Lord, that I may learn of Thee]
Whom shall He teach knowledge? &c.
—xxviii. 9.
Lord, that I may learn of Thee,
Give me true simplicity;
Wean my soul, and keep it low,
Willing Thee alone to know.
Give me true simplicity;
Wean my soul, and keep it low,
Willing Thee alone to know.
Let me cast myself aside,
All that feeds my knowing pride;
Not to man, but God submit,
Lay my reasonings at Thy feet;
All that feeds my knowing pride;
Not to man, but God submit,
Lay my reasonings at Thy feet;
Of my boasted wisdom spoil'd,
Docile, helpless, as a child,
Only seeing in Thy light,
Only walking in Thy might.
Docile, helpless, as a child,
Only seeing in Thy light,
Only walking in Thy might.
Then infuse the teaching grace,
Spirit of truth and righteousness,
Knowledge, love Divine impart,
Life eternal to my heart.
Spirit of truth and righteousness,
Knowledge, love Divine impart,
Life eternal to my heart.
