Bliss He wakes, and woe He light­ens:
start
Bring her bud to glo­ri­ous flow­er.
Recall my feet from fol­ly’s paths

Praise Him who is all praise above,
I do not seek to know the things
How ma­ny are Your works, Lord!
The bless­ing of God’s chos­en race,
Found plea­sures nev­er wast­ing,
Where heav’n­ly skill is not dis­played,
Someone God’s pur­pose will ful­fill;
Jesu, joy of man’s de­sir­ing,
Those who sit at Je­sus’ feet
With fro­ward heart, in fool­ish pride,
Those who seek Me in their youth—
With death and Heav­en in view.
Teach us Your Ho­ly Word, O Lord,
O where can truth be found to­day?

wis­dom

Where un­der­stand­ing find?
Chance and change are bu­sy ev­er;
The migh­ty glo­ry in his might,
For the fac­ing of this hour,
Teach me in ev­ery va­ri­ous scene
We sing in praise of thee;
How vast His know­ledge, how pro­found!
With child­like trust, O Lord,
You give com­mand each morn­ing;
The faith that sweet­ly works by love.
When, like a tent to dwell in,
There’s not a star whose twink­ling light
Someone will soft­en sor­row’s road.
Drawn by Thee, our souls as­pir­ing
Choose, O choose the bet­ter part,
From wis­dom turned away.
And the nar­row way of truth;
And plea­sures all re­fined;
We’ve come to set our­selves apart
O who to life’s mys­ter­ies holds the key?
