Analysis of Wisdom Happiness
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Bless the one who finds wisdom,
And who gets understanding;
That flows down from His Kingdom,
Coping what is demanding.
The gain from her is better,
Than all the silver and gold;
Follow God to the letter,
With insight that will unfold.
She is more precious than jewels,
No desire to compare;
Because she gives you the tools,
Blessing others as you share.
Long life is in her right hand,
In her left hand is honor;
Confident in where you stand,
Humbled to be a fawner.
Her ways are of pleasantness,
And all her paths are of peace;
Constantly of blessedness,
For your knowledge to increase.
Wisdom is a tree of life,
Having blessings that will bloom;
Able to see through the strife,
Breaking up the clouds of doom.
The Lord by wisdom is found,
Is established in Heaven;
Silent without any sound,
For understanding given.
By His knowledge the depths broke,
As the clouds drops down the dew;
With the blessings that will soak,
Your mind able to construe.
