In all Thy wisdom, Father God,
|
|
| 1. | In all Thy wisdom, Father God, |
| | According to Thy will, |
| | Eternal purpose Thou hast made |
| | That all Thy Son might fill. |
| | How deep and rich Thy wisdom is, |
| | O who can search and trace? |
| | Yet, Father God, in it we find |
| | Thy mercy and Thy grace! |
| 2. | How wondrously Thou mad'st all things, |
| | O who can know Thy mind? |
| | All are of Thee, thru Thee, to Thee, |
| | Thy wisdom here we find. |
| 3. | Thy wisdom shuts up all in sin, |
| | That mercy may be shown, |
| | That none may boast in anything |
| | But in Thyself alone. |
| 4. | In wisdom, by the cross, Thou hast |
| | For us redemption made, |
| | That in our spirit we may have |
| | Thyself, the treasure, laid. |
| 5. | Thy wisdom thru Thy Church is known |
| | By principalities, |
| | Thru us Thy wisdom manifold |
| | Shown in the heavenlies. |
| 6. | When in the new Jerusalem |
| | In mercy we will boast, |
| | Thy wisdom will be known for aye |
| | Unto the uttermost. |
