Hymns and Spiritual Songs, in Three Books ‎#I.XCIII

I.XCIII. Christ, or wisdom, obeyed or resisted

1 Thus saith the Wisdom of the Lord,
"Bless'd is the man that hears my word,
"Keeps daily watch before my gates,
"And at my feet for mercy waits.

2 "The soul that seeks me shall obtain
"Immortal wealth and heav'nly gain;
"Immortal life is his reward,
"Life, and the favour of the Lord.

3 "But the vile wretch that flies from me
"Doth his own soul an injury;
"Fools, that against my grace rebel,
"Seek death, and love the road to hell."
