The Wisdom of God
Author: Beddome Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #XI (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Wisdom of God First Line: Wait, O my soul, thy maker's will Lyrics: 1 Wait, O my soul, thy maker's will,
Tumultuous passions, all be still!
Nor let a murmuring thought arise,
His ways are just, his counsels wise,
2 He in the thickest darkness dwells,
Performs his work, the cause conceals;
But tho' his methods are unknown,
Judgment and truth support his throne.
3 In heaven, and earth, and air, and seas,
He executes his firm decrees;
And by his saints it stands confest,
That what he does is ever best.
4 Wait then, my soul, submissive wait,
Prostrate before his awful seat;
And 'midst the terrors of his rod,
Trust in a wise and gracious God. Languages: English

Shall Wisdom cry aloud

The Voice of God's eternal Word,
Deserves it no Regard?
2 "I was his chief Delight,
"His Everlasting Son,
"Before the first of all his Works,
"Creation, was begun.
[3 "Before the flying Clouds,
"Before the solid Land,
"Before the Fields, before the Flood,
"I dwelt at his Right Hand.
4 "When he adorn'd the skies,
"And built them, I was there,
"To order where the Sun should rise,
"And marshal ev'ry Star.
5 "When he pour'd out the Sea,
"And spread the flowing Deep,
"I gave the Flood a firm Decree
"In its own Bounds to keep.]
6 "Upon the empty Air
"The Earth was ballanc'd well;
"With Joy I saw the Mansion where
"The Sons of Men should dwell.
7 "My busy Thoughts at first
"On their Salvation ran,
"E'er Sin was born, or Adam's Dust
"Was fashion'd to a Man.
9 "Then come, receive my Grace,
"Ye Children, and be wise;
"Happy the Man that keeps my Ways,
The Man that shuns them dies. Scripture: Proverbs 8:1 Languages: English

that spread the flowing seas abroad and built the lofty skies.

the moon shines full at God’s command, and all the stars obey.

God formed the creatures with a word, and then pronounced them good.
Lord, how thy wonders are displayed, where’er I turn my eyes,
if I survey the ground I tread, or gaze upon the skies!
3 There’s not a plant or flower below but makes thy glories known,
and clouds arise and tempests blow by order from thy throne,
while all that borrows life from thee is ever in thy care,
and everywhere that I could be, thou, God, art present there. Scripture: Genesis 1, 2:1-4 Languages: English Tune Title: FOREST GREEN

finding one wiser than they knew;
rich men, they met with one yet richer —
King of the kings, they knelt to you:
Jesus, our wisdom from above,
wealth and redemption, life and love.
2 Pilgrims they were, from unknown countries,
searching for one who knows the world;
lost are their names, and strange their journeys,
famed is their zeal to find the child:
Jesus, in you the lost are claimed,
aliens are found, and known, and named.
3 Magi, they stooped to see your splendour,
led by a star to light supreme;
promised Messiah, Lord eternal,
glory and peace are in your name.
Joy of each day, our Song by night,
shine on our path your holy light.
4 Guests of their God, they opened treasures,
incense and gold and solemn myrrh;
welcoming one too young to question
how came these gifts, and what they were:
Gift beyond price of gold or gem,
make among us your Bethlehem. Scripture: Matthew 2:1-11 Languages: English Tune Title: NEUMARK
Wise men, they came to look for wisdom

his baptism in the Jordan river,
his death on Cross for my salvation;

his riding up the heavenly way,
his coming at the day of doom
I bind unto myself today.

the virtues of the star-lit heaven,
the glorious sun's life-giving ray,
the whiteness of the moon at even,
the flashing of the lightning free,
the whirling wind's tempestuous shocks,
the stable earth, the deep salt sea
around the old eternal rocks.

the power of God to hold and lead,
God's eye to watch, God's might to stay,
God's ear to hearken to my need,
the wisdom of my God to teach,
God's hand to guide, God's shield to ward;
the word of God to give me speech,
the heavenly host to be my guard.
5 Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me.
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
6 I bind unto myself the name,
the strong name of the Trinity,
by invocation of the same,
the Three-in-One, and One-in-Three,
of whom all nature hath creation,
eternal Father, Spirit, Word.
Praise to the Lord of my salvation;
salvation is of Christ the Lord! Languages: English Tune Title: ST. PATRICK, DIERDRE
