Religion
Job 28:28: Be it my only wisdom here
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Be it my only wisdom here
To serve the Lord with filial fear,
With loving gratitude;
Superior sense may I display
By shunning every evil way.
And walking in the good.
O may I still from sin depart;
A wise and understanding heart,
Jesus, to me be given.
And let me through Thy Spirit know
To glorify my God below.
And find my way to heaven.
