THE LORD GIVETH WISDOM
Mighty One, before whose face
Wisdom had her glorious seat,
When the orbs that people space
Sprang to birth beneath thy feet!
Source of Truth, whose beams alone
Light the mighty world of mind!
God of Love, who, from thy throne,
Watchest over all mankind!
Shed on those who, in Thy name,
Teach the way of Truth and Right
Shed that Love’s undying flame,
Shed that Wisdom’s guiding light.
