1  In all Thy wisdom, Father God,

       According to Thy will,

    Eternal purpose Thou hast made

       That all Thy Son might fill.

 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.

 3  Thy wisdom shuts up all in sin,

       That mercy may be shown,

    That none may boast in anything

       But in Thyself alone.

 4  In wisdom, by the cross, Thou hast

       For us redemption made,

    That in our spirit we may have

       Thyself, the treasure, laid.

 5  Thy wisdom thru Thy Church is known

       By principalities,

    Thru us Thy wisdom manifold

       Shown in the heavenlies.

 6  When in the new Jerusalem

       In mercy we will boast,

    Thy wisdom will be known for aye

       Unto the uttermost.
