[Wisdom we gain, O Lord, from Thee]
He charged them that they should tell no man, &c.
—ix. 9.
Wisdom we gain, O Lord, from Thee,
Nor at all times to all declare
The truths which yet they cannot see,
Which young in grace they cannot bear;
The word we to the state adjust,
And learn in what degree to trust.
Nor at all times to all declare
The truths which yet they cannot see,
Which young in grace they cannot bear;
The word we to the state adjust,
And learn in what degree to trust.
To all the twelve Thou wouldst not show
The sight Thou didst to three reveal,
That we may times and persons know,
Thy mysteries with discretion tell,
Tell every partner of Thy pain
They, only they, with Thee shall reign.
