Author: Ernst Lange; John Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Thine, Lord, is wisdom, Thine alone;
Justice and truth before Thee stand:
Yet, nearer to Thy sacred throne,
Mercy withholds Thy lifted hand.
2. Each evening shows Thy tender love,
Each rising morn Thy plenteous grace;
Thy wakened wrath doth slowly move,
Thy willing mercy flies apace.
3. To Thy benign, indulgent care,
Father, this light, this breath, we owe;
And all we have, and all we are,
From Thee, great Source of being, flow.
4. Thrice Holy! Thine the kingdom is,
The power omnipotent is Thine;
And when created nature dies,
Thy never ceasing glories shine. Used With Tune: WAREHAM Text Sources: Neues geistreiches Gesangbuch, by Johann A. Freylinghausen, 1714; translation in Collection of Psalms and Hymns (Charleston, South Carolina: 17
