Be it my only wisdom here
Be it my only wisdom here
1. Be it my only wisdom hereTo serve the Lord with filial fear.With loving gratitude;Superior sense may I display,By shunning every evil way,And walking in the good.
2. Oh, may I still from sin depart;A wise and understanding heart,Jesus, to me be given;And let me through Thy Spirit knowTo glorify my God below,And find my way to heaven.
