“Who of God is made ... wisdom.” 1 Cor. 1. 24, 30

1 Believers own they are but blind;
  They know themselves unwise;
  But wisdom in the Lord they find,
  Who opens all their eyes.

2 Unrighteous are they all, when tried;
  But God himself declares
  In Jesus they are justified;
  His righteousness is theirs.

3 [That we’re unholy needs no proof;
  We sorely feel the fall;
  But Christ has holiness enough
  To sanctify us all.]

4 Exposed by sin to God’s just wrath,
  We look to Christ and view
  Redemption in his blood by faith,
  And full redemption too.

5 [Some this, some that good virtue teach,
  To rectify the soul;
  But we first after Jesus reach,
  And richly grasp the whole.]

6 To Jesus joined, we all that’s good
  From him, our Head, derive.
  We eat his flesh and drink his blood,
  And by and in him live.
