The wisdom own’d by all Thy sons

Verse 1
The wisdom own’d by all thy sons,
To me, O God, impart,
The knowledge of the Holy Ones,
The understanding heart:
Thy name, O holy Father, tell
To one who would believe,
To me thy holy Son reveal,
Thy Holy Spirit give.

Verse 2
’Tis life, eternal life to know
The heavenly Persons mine;
Father, and Son, and Spirit, bestow
That precious faith divine:
A Trinity in Unity
My soul shall then adore,
And love, and praise, and worship thee
Jehovah evermore.
