Be It My Only Wisdom Here

Be it my on­ly wis­dom here

To serve the Lord with fi­li­al fear

With lov­ing gra­ti­tude;

Superior sense may I dis­play

By shun­ning ev­ery ev­il way

And walk­ing in the good.

O may I still from sin de­part;

A wise and un­der­stand­ing heart

Jesus

to me be giv­en

And let me through Thy Spir­it know

To glo­ri­fy my God be­low

And find my way to Heav­en.
