The Unspeakable Gift

Charles Wesley • English

Primary Scripture: 1 Kings 3:1-15

Verse 1

Happy the man who finds the grace, The blessing of God's chosen race, The wisdom coming from above, The faith that sweetly works by love.

Verse 2

Wisdom divine! who tells the price Of wisdom's costly merchandise? Wisdom to silver we prefer, And gold is dross compared to her.

Verse 3

Her hands are filled with length of days, True riches, and immortal praise, Riches of Christ on all bestowed, And honour that descends from God.

Verse 4

To purest joys she all invites, Chaste, holy, spiritual delights; Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her flowery paths are peace.

Verse 5

Happy the man who wisdom gains; Thrice happy, who his guest retains; He owns, and shall for ever own, Wisdom, and Christ, and heaven, are one.
