"Wisdom cries," but what is Wisdom?
Mercy, love, and truth combined,
Fear of God, and dread of evil,—
Happy they who Wisdom find!
"Wisdom cries," but where is Wisdom?
Where the love of God is known;
Where the heart, by Christ attracted,
Is the loving Savior's throne.
"Wisdom cries," but who is Wisdom?
Christ Himself, and none but He;
God's delight, and man's Redeemer,
He whose death has set us free.
"Wisdom cries," but what its promise?
Happiness, and peace, and love;
Here below God's help and blessing,
And eternal joy above!
