EN 1987 Ere God Had Built the Mountains

Prov.8.22

Versi Version 1

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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!”
