Happy the man who finds the grace.
The blessing of God's chosen race,
The wisdom coming from above,
And faith that sweetly works by love!
Happy is he who thus can say,
The Lord, the Saviour died for me;
The gift unspeakable obtains,
And heavenly understanding gains.
Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all her paths are paths of peace;
Wisdom to silver we prefer,
And gold is dross compared with her.
He finds, who wisdom apprehends,
A life begun that never ends:
The tree of life divine she is,
Set in the midst of Paradise.
Happy the man who wisdom gains...
In whose obedient heart she reigns:
He owns, and will for ever own,
Wisdom, and Christ, and heaven, are one.
