Lyrics

In the school of God the Lord,
Scholars learn the truth, the way;
Those who sit at Je­sus’ feet
Grow in wis­dom day by day.

Refrain

Choose, O choose the bet­ter part,
Trust in God with all thy heart.
Choose, O choose the bet­ter part,
Trust in God with all thy heart.

In the home, the church, the school,
In the busy crowd­ed street,
Learn the les­sons God would teach,
Seek His ser­vice, true and sweet.

Refrain

Walk in wis­dom’s plea­sant ways,
Keep the pre­cepts of your God,
Trust His roy­al pro­mis­es,
Follow where the Sav­ior trod.
