Author: Michael Bruce Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #483 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How happy is the man who hears
Instruction’s warning voice,
And who celestial wisdom makes
His early, only choice!
His early, only choice!
2 For she has treasures greater far
Than East or West unfold;
And her rewards more precious are
Than all their stores of gold,
Than all their stores of gold.
3 She guides the young with innocence
In happy paths to tread;
A crown of glory she bestows
Upon the hoary head,
Upon the hoary head.
4 According as her labors rise,
So her rewards increase;
Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all her paths are peace,
And all her paths are peace.
Amen. Topics: Way of Salvation Sanctification; Praise of Wisdom; Word of God Languages: English Tune Title: DEVIZES
