Christ Our Wisdom. [1 Corinthians 1:30] Source: Hymns and Sacred Poems (1740), Part I Author: Charles Wesley (attributed) --- See, ye sinners, see the flame Rising from the slaughter’d Lamb, Marks the new, the living way, Leading to eternal day. Jesu, when this light we see, All our soul’s athirst for thee: When thy quick’ning power we prove, All our heart dissolves in love. Boundless wisdom, power divine, Love unspeakable are thine! Praise by all to thee be given, Sons of earth, and hosts of heaven! Christ Our Wisdom. [1 Corinthians i. 30.] Made unto me, O Lord, my God, Wisdom divine thou art: Thy light, which first my darkness shew’d, Still searches out my heart. Thy Spirit, breathing in the word, Gave me myself to see, Fallen, till by thy grace restor’d, And lost, till found in thee.
