Hymn 1:93 [Thus Saith The Wisdom Of The Lord]

________________________________________________
Title:     Hymn 1:93 [Thus Saith The Wisdom Of The Lord]
Author: Isaac Watts [More Titles by Watts]

Christ, or wisdom, obeyed or resisted, Prov. 8. 31 35 36.


Thus saith the wisdom of the Lord,
"Bless'd is the man that hears my word,
"Keeps daily watch before my gates,
"And at my feet for mercy waits.

"The soul that seeks me shall obtain
"Immortal wealth and heavenly gain;
"Immortal life is his reward,
"Life, and the favour of the Lord.

"But the vile wretch that flies from me
"Doth his own soul an injury;
Fools that against my grace rebel
"Seek death, and love the road to hell."
