Be It My Only Wisdom Here

1. Be it my only wisdom here, To 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. O may I still from sin depart! A wise and understanding heart, Jesus, to me be given; And let me throuhg thy Spirit know, To glorify my God below, And find my way to heaven.
