The best of wisdom is to know
The Father in the Son;
The best of power is to bow
To what the Lord has done.
The best of prayer, is to pray
That we may still believe;
The best of patience, is to stay
'Till we a crown receive,
The best of watching, is to watch
Against the world and sin:
The best of preaching is to preach
Jesus, and nought but him.
The best of striving, is to strive
Who shall in grace excel ;
The best of thriving, is to thrive,
By that which feedeth well.
Then let my soul enjoy the best,
For that is best for me:
And let me find no lasting rest,
But when I rest in thee.
