Waiting at wisdom's gate

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 10 hymnals First Line: My heart has been too long ensnar'd Lyrics: 1 My heart has been too long ensnar'd, In folly's hurtful ways; Oh, may I be at length prepar'd, To hear what wisdom says! 2 'Tis Jesus from the mercy-seat, Invites me to his rest; He calls poor sinners to his feet, To make them truly blest. 3 Approach, my soul, to wisdom's gates, Approach without delay: No one who watches there and waits, Shall e'er be turn'd away. 4 He will not let me seek in vain, For all who trust his word Shall everlasting life obtain, And favor from the Lord. 5 Now I would break my league with death, And live to thee alone; Oh let thy Spirit's seal of faith, Secure me for thine own. Topics: Wisdom of God Waiting for Scripture: Proverbs 8:34-35
