Wisdom And Knowledge

Tune: Binchester

(\'Happy are they, they that love God\')

*******

Only you, Lord God, know all things

Whate\'er life daily brings

Humans you have made, but they not

Know all, that not their lot

 

But you give wisdom and knowledge

We may your presence sense

Spiritual knowledge be the best

Compares not with the rest

 

Yet you give wisdom for each day

Practicalities\' way

Common sense, not to foolish be

But you the time wisely

 

In you are hid all the treasures

Of wisdom, fine pleasures

All the treasures of knowledge too

You do our minds renew

 

Be pleased to reveal treasures hid

In prayer we beseech, bid

You, that humbly what we do know

Use for good, and live so
