Tune: Dove of Peace

('I come with joy to meet my Lord')

1 Corinthians 2 v.9-13

*********

By human means eyes has not seen

Nor ear heard, has not been

Nor has entered into man's heart

Things of God, no, no part

 

The things which He has prepared for

They that love Him, 'tis sure

But God has to us them revealed

By His Spirit, appealed

 

For the Spirit searches all things

Things of God to us brings

Even the deep things of God, we

By him spiritual[ly] see

 

For what man knows things of a man

Except man's spirit can

Show him things of human life, so

By the Spirit we know

 

We know the things of God which He

Gives unto us freely

And also we them speak and share

In His wisdom here, [and] there
