Proverbs 8:22

• [Pro 8:22] Ere God Had Built The Mountains

  Ere God had built the mountains, Or raised the fruitful hills; Before He filled the fountains That feed the running rills; In me from everlasting, The wonderful I Am, Found pleasures never wasting, And Wisdom is my name. When, like a tent to dwell in, He spread the skies abroad, And swathed about the swelling Of Ocean’s mighty flood; He wrought by weight and measure, And I was with Him then: Myself the Father’s pleasure, And mine, the sons of men. Thus Wisdom’s words discover Thy glory and Thy grace, Thou everlasting Lover Of our unworthy race! Thy gracious eye surveyed us Ere stars were seen above; In wisdom Thou hast made us, And died for us in love. And couldst Thou be delighted With creatures such as we, Who, when we saw Thee, slighted, And nailed Thee to a tree? Unfathomable wonder, And mystery divine! The voice that speaks in thunder, Says, “Sinner, I am thine!”

• [Pro 8:22] Shall Wisdom Cry Aloud?

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

Proverbs 16:3-4

• [Pro 16:3] Life In The Loom

  Children of yesterday, heirs of tomorrow, What are you weaving? labor and sorrow? Look to your loom again, faster and faster Fly the great shuttles prepared by the Master. There’s life in the loom! Room for it, room! There’s life in the loom! Room for it, room! Children of yesterday, heirs of tomorrow, Lighten the labor and sweeten the sorrow; Now while the shuttles fly faster and faster, Up and be doing the work with the Master. He stands at the loom! Room for Him, room! He stands at the loom! Room for Him, room! Children of yesterday, heirs of tomorrow, Look at your fabric of labor and sorrow; Seamy and dark with despair and disaster, Turn it and lo, the design of the Master. The Lord’s at the loom! Room for Him, room! The Lord’s at the loom! Room for Him, room!

• [Pro 16:4] Holy Father, God Almighty

  Holy Father, God almighty, Holy Jesus, God adored, Holy Spirit, God of comfort, Holy, holy, holy Lord! All our praises rise before You, God who made all that exists. As You did with ancient offerings, Send Your Spirit on our gifts. You gave us Your body, Jesus, On the night You were betrayed— Bread of heaven, earthly feasting— Sacrifice for sins now paid. And You gave Your blood to nourish Body, spirit and the soul— Cup of blessing that did heal us— Liquid that did make us whole. We recall Your incarnation! We recall Your earthly life! We recall Your crucifixion Full of agony and strife! We recall Your resurrection From the grave though sealed with stone! This Your victory over death, Lord, Gives us promise for our own. And recalling Your ascension, We entreat You and implore That You soon return and take us To be with You evermore! Send Your Spirit to be with us As we pilgrim through this life. Keep your church and all our loved ones From all evil and all strife. With the saints and with the angels We are longing, Lord, to be, Where with praise and adoration, Our Redeemer we shall see. Through and with and in Christ Jesus, In the Spirit’s unity, Be all honor to the Father Now and through eternity!
