The Psalms of David‎#I.XCVI

I.XCVII

Text:

But few among the carnal Wise

1 But few among the carnal Wise,
But few of noble Race,
Obtain the Favour of thine Eyes,
Almighty King of Grace.

2 He takes the Men of meanest Name,
For Sons and Heirs of God;
And thus he pours abundant Shame
On honorable Blood.

3 He calls the Fool, and makes him know
The Myst'ries of his Grace,
To bring aspiring Wisdom low,
And all its Pride abase.

4 Nature has all its Glories lost,
When brought before his Throne;
No Flesh shall in his Presence boast,
But in the Lord alone.
