Let Not the Wise Glory in Their Wisdom
Hymnal: Psalms for All Seasons #49C (2012) Topics: God's Wisdom; Wisdom Psalms Lyrics: Refrain:
Let not the wise glory in their wisdom.

Listen, all people everywhere,

Listen to these words of wisdom! [Refrain]

They leave all their riches to others.
Their money will not let them live forever.
Their greatness cannot keep them from death. [Refrain] Scripture: Psalm 49 Languages: English Tune Title: [Let not the wise glory in their wisdom]

A Song to creating Wisdom
To us the voice of Wisdom cries
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #29 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Wisdom Lyrics:
To us the voice of Wisdom cries,
Hearken, ye children, and be wise;
Better than gold the fruit I bear,
Rubies to me may not compare,
Happy the man who daily waits
To hear me, watching at my gates;
Wretched is he who scorns my voice,
Death and destruction are his choice.
To them that love me I am kind;
And those who seek me early find;
My Son, give me thine heart,--and learn
Wisdom from folly to discern.
28
The Lord possess'd me, ere of old,
His hand the firmament unroll'd;
Before He bade the mountains stand,
Or pour'd the ocean round the land.
Rejoicing then before his throne,
From everlasting I was known;
Rejoicing still, as in His sight,
With men on earth is my delight.
Mark, the beginning of my law,
--Fear ye the Lord with sacred awe;
Mark the fulfilment of the whole,
Love ye the Lord with all your soul.
We hear, we learn; may we obey;
Jesus, the life, the truth, the way,
Wisdom and righteousness, we see,
Grace and salvation all in Thee.
Scripture: Proverbs 8 Languages: English

The Seasons Are Fixed by Wisdom Divine
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #219 (1934) Meter: 10.10.11.11 Topics: Wisdom of God Lyrics: 1 The seasons are fixed by wisdom divine,
The slow changing moon show forth God’s design;
The sun in his circuit his Maker obeys,
And running his journey hastes not nor delays.
2 The Lord makes the night, when, leaving their lair,
The lions creep forth, God’s bounty to share;
The Lord makes the morning, when beasts steal away
And men are beginning the work of the day.
3 How many and wise Thy works are, O Lord!
The earth with the wealth of wisdom is stored;
The sea bears in safety the ships to and fro,
And creatures unnumbered it shelters below.
4 Thy creatures all look to Thee for their food;
Thy hand opens wide, they gather the good;
Thy face Thou concealest, in anguish they yearn;
Their breath Thou withholdest, to dust they return.
5 Thy Spirit, O Lord, makes life to abound,
The earth is renewed, and fruitful the ground;
To God ascribe glory and wisdom and might,
Let God in His creatures forever delight.
6 Before the Lord’s might earth trembles and quakes,
The mountains are rent, and smoke from them breaks;
The Lord I will worship through all of my days,
Yea, while I have being my God I will praise.
7 Rejoicing in God, my thought shall be sweet,
While sinners depart in ruin complete;
My soul, bless Jehovah, His Name be adored,
Come, praise Him, ye people, and worship the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 104 Languages: English Tune Title: ASPINWALL

O for the wisdom from above,
Pure, gentle, peaceable, and mild,

The meekness of a little child.
Wise may we be to know the truth,
Reveal'd in every Scripture page;
Wise to salvation from our youth,
And wiser grow from stage to stage.

Then if to riper years, we rise,
And well the work of grace be wrought
Within ourselves,--we shall be wise
To teach in turn what we were taught.
Yet still be learning, day by day,
More of God's Word, God's way, God's will;
His law, rejoicing to obey,
Pleas'd His whole pleasure to fulfill,
Wise to win souls, if thus we're led,
How blest will be our lot below,
Blessings to share, and blessings shed
On all with whom to heaven we go.
So may we reach that home at length,
And, clad in righteousness divine,
Even as the sun, when in his strength,
And as the stars, for ever, shine.

in her hands the poor of earth,
on her back all human sorrow,
in her laugh all human mirth.
God most human, God most holy,
God incarnate comes to birth.

as her glory fills the sky.
Down in adoration falling,
we her children raise the cry:
She who is and was and evermore shall be,

The Man that shuns them dies. Scripture: Proverbs 8:1 Languages: English

Wise men, they came to look for wisdom
Author: Christopher Idle (born 1938) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #100 (1987) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Topics: Epiphany 5, Revelation The Wisdom of God Lyrics: 1 Wise men, they came to look for wisdom,
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
