EN 1988 Shall Wisdom Cry Aloud?
Prov.8.22
Versi Version 1
1
Shall Wisdom cry aloud,
And not her speech be heard?
The voice of God’s eternal Word,
Deserves it no regard?
2
“I was His chief delight,
His everlasting Son,
Before the first of all His works,
Creation, was begun.
3
“Before the flying clouds,
Before the solid land,
Before the fields, before the floods,
I dwelt at His right hand.
4
“When He adorned the skies,
And built them, I was there,
To order where the sun should rise,
And marshal every star.
5
“When He poured out the sea,
And spread the flowing deep,
I gave the flood a firm decree
In its own bounds to keep.
6
“Upon the empty air
The earth was balanced well:
With joy I saw the mansion where
The sons of men should dwell.
7
“My busy thoughts at first
On their salvation ran,
Ere sin was born, or Adam’s dust
Was fashioned to a man.
8
“Then come, receive My grace,
Ye children, and be wise;
Happy the man that keeps My ways;
The man that shuns them dies.”
