Oh wis­dom, pre­cious wis­dom,
We sing in praise of thee;
Thy ways are sure­ly plea­sant,
Thy works we won­der­ing see.
There’s plea­sure in the seek­ing,
And those who seek may find,
Within thy halls of learn­ing
A cul­ti­vat­ed mind.

To Thee, the God of wis­dom,
Let grate­ful praise abound,
For now with­in our church­es,
Fair learn­ing’s court is found.
And he who longs for know­ledge,
That He may work for Thee,
Can find in school and col­lege
An edu­ca­tion free.

The pow­er of mind is migh­ty
If it be used aright,
And Chris­tian edu­ca­tion
Can best be­stow this might.
So let us gain the scep­ter
And throne of true suc­cess
That waits for those who’re wor­thy
Its hon­ors to pos­sess.
