O Wisdom, Precious Wisdom

Oh wis­dom

pre­cious wis­dom

We sing in praise of thee;

Thy ways are sure­ly plea­sant

Thy works we won­der­ing see.

There’s plea­sure in the seek­ing

And those who seek may find

Within thy halls of learn­ing

A cul­ti­vat­ed mind.

To Thee

the God of wis­dom

Let grate­ful praise ab­ound

For now with­in our church­es

Fair learn­ing’s court is found.

And he who longs for know­ledge

That He may work for Thee

Can find in school and col­lege

An edu­ca­tion free.

The pow­er of mind is migh­ty

If it be used aright

And Christ­ian edu­ca­tion

Can best be­stow this might.

So let us gain the scep­ter

And throne of true suc­cess

That waits for those who’re wor­thy

Its hon­ors to pos­sess.
