The Lord brought her forth as the first of his works
Before he marked out the earth's foundations.
In the beginning, day after day,
At God's side, with delight, crafting his new creation.

Wisdom was there before the heavens were made;
Born in the void, beloved daughter,
Then...'Let there be light and horizons and night
And the mountains and fountains and the deep living water.'

Chorus
Wisdom calls you,
Listen and give heed to
Her words of blessing, and joy, and be wise,
For whoever loves wisdom finds life.

Wisdom calls out 'Here is the house I have built
Hewn with my hands and heart rejoicing.
Come all who fear God, all who'd be wise
And you'll walk all your days in the ways of understanding.

Chorus

Wisdom calls out to the lost and confused,
As well as the powerful and mighty,
The fear of the Lord is where wisdom begins
And she sets out a banquet for the humble and hungry.'

Chorus
