Genesis 3:6: A tree to be desired to make one wise
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)

Jesus, Thou art a tree
That makes the foolish wise.
And safely we may feed on Thee,
And feast both heart and eyes:
Wisdom Divine Thou art,
Received through faith alone;
And when Thou dost Thyself impart.
We know as we are known.
