Hymnal: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, in Three Books #I.XCIII (1793) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Thus saith the wisdom of the Lord Lyrics: 1 Thus saith the Wisdom of the Lord,
"Bless'd is the man that hears my word,
"Keeps daily watch before my gates,
"And at my feet for mercy waits.
2 "The soul that seeks me shall obtain
"Immortal wealth and heav'nly gain;
"Immortal life is his reward,
"Life, and the favour of the Lord.
3 "But the vile wretch that flies from me
"Doth his own soul an injury;
"Fools, that against my grace rebel,
"Seek death, and love the road to hell."
