26 A SONG OF THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM
| |||
| Refrain: | In Wisdom’s company do all good things come;* those who receive her are friends with God. | ||
| 1 |
I prayed and understanding was given me;* I called on God and the Spirit of Wisdom came to me. | ||
| 2 |
I preferred her to sceptres and thrones* and I accounted wealth as nothing in comparison with her. | ||
| 3 |
I loved her more than health or beauty* and I chose to have her rather than light, because her radiance never ceases. | ||
| 4 |
In her company, all good things came to me;* in her hands a wealth of true riches. | ||
| 5 |
In all these good things, I rejoiced, because Wisdom brings them,* but I did not know that she was their mother. | ||
| 6 |
What I learned without selfishness I pass on without reserve,* I do not hide her gifts. | ||
| 7 |
For Wisdom is an unfailing treasure for mortals:* those who receive her are friends with God. | ||
| |||
|
In Wisdom’s company do all good things come;* those who receive her are friends with God. | |||
