Wisdom

Stop and take your rest here
all you who search for me
mine are the ways of life
the paths to eternity
 
I will instruct you in wisdom
and will purify your heart
will wake you in the morning
and at eve ne'er to depart
 
I will teach you pleasant speech
and prepare your heart for war
that you may love your brother
to commit violence ne'er more
 
All my ways are pleasant
they will bring your heart delight
with treasures I have paved them
with truths that give insight
 
Those who bow before me
I will ever make to stand
love is the only way
you can inherit my land
 
All those who listen to me
will true direction find
to meadows and water courses
to the temple of your mind
 
Foundations for all of thought
and her pillars of support
her walls are made of virtue
and the truth of God her court
 
Her steps will lead you upward
to the pearls of her doors
if you will but them open
to walk upon transparent floors
 
Heaven is her covering 
the Son of God her throne
within are those who worship
who will  this temple make their home
