Wisdom

Stop and take your rest here

all you who search for me

mine are the ways of life

the paths to eternity

 

I will instruct you in wisdom

and will purify your heart

will wake you in the morning

and at eve ne'er to depart

 

I will teach you pleasant speech

and prepare your heart for war

that you may love your brother

to commit violence ne'er more

 

All my ways are pleasant

they will bring your heart delight

with treasures I have paved them

with truths that give insight

 

Those who bow before me

I will ever make to stand

love is the only way

you can inherit my land

 

All those who listen to me

will true direction find

to meadows and water courses

to the temple of your mind

 

Foundations for all of thought

and her pillars of support

her walls are made of virtue

and the truth of God her court

 

Her steps will lead you upward

to the pearls of her doors

if you will but them open

to walk upon transparent floors

 

Heaven is her covering 

the Son of God her throne

within are those who worship

who will  this temple make their home
