HYMN VIII. WISDOM.
I
Father of Lights, conduct my feetThro' Life's dark, dang'rous road;
And, O, let ev'ry step still bring
Me nearer to my God.
II
Let Heaven-ey'd Prudence be my guide,And, when I go astray,
Recall my feet, from folly's path,
Into a better way.
91
III
Teach me thro' ev'ry various sceneTo keep my end in view,
And whilst I tread life's mazy track
Let wisdom be my clue.
IV
That Wisdom which is from aboveAbundantly impart;
And let it guard, and guide, and warm,
And penetrate my heart;
V
Till it shall lead me to thyself,Fountain of Bliss and Love:
And all my darkness be dispers'd
In endless light above.
