 1 

In all Thy wisdom, Father God,

According to Thy will,

Eternal purpose Thou hast made

That all Thy Son might fill.

 

How deep and rich Thy wisdom is,

O who can search and trace?

Yet, Father God, in it we find

Thy mercy and Thy grace!

 
 2 

How wondrously Thou mad'st all things,

O who can know Thy mind?

All are of Thee, thru Thee, to Thee,

Thy wisdom here we find.

 

How deep and rich Thy wisdom is,

O who can search and trace?

Yet, Father God, in it we find

Thy mercy and Thy grace!

 
 3 

Thy wisdom shuts up all in sin,

That mercy may be shown,

That none may boast in anything

But in Thyself alone.

 

How deep and rich Thy wisdom is,

O who can search and trace?

Yet, Father God, in it we find

Thy mercy and Thy grace!

 
 4 

In wisdom, by the cross, Thou hast

For us redemption made,

That in our spirit we may have

Thyself, the treasure, laid.

 

How deep and rich Thy wisdom is,

O who can search and trace?

Yet, Father God, in it we find

Thy mercy and Thy grace!

 
 5 

Thy wisdom thru Thy Church is known

By principalities,

Thru us Thy wisdom manifold

Shown in the heavenlies.

 

How deep and rich Thy wisdom is,

O who can search and trace?

Yet, Father God, in it we find

Thy mercy and Thy grace!

 
 6 

When in the new Jerusalem

In mercy we will boast,

Thy wisdom will be known for aye

Unto the uttermost.

 

How deep and rich Thy wisdom is,

O who can search and trace?

Yet, Father God, in it we find

Thy mercy and Thy grace!
