By A Collection of Hymns

      7s. Isaiah xxviii. 9.
      1 LORD, that I may learn of thee,
      Give me true simplicity;
      Wean my soul, and keep it low.
      Willing thee alone to know.

      2 Let me cast my reeds aside,
      All that feeds my knowing pride,
      Not to man, but God submit,
      Lay my reasonings at thy feet;

      3 Of my boasted wisdom spoiled,
      Docile, helpless, as a child,
      Only seeing in thy light,
      Only walking in thy might.

      4 Then infuse the teaching grace,
      Spirit of truth and righteousness;
      Knowledge, love divine, impart,
      Life eternal, to my heart.
