U is for Understanding
Of absolute degree
That’s found in God Jehovah:
‘Tis boundless as the sea.
Search out this understanding;
Its depths you’ll plummet not.
So vast and wide its bound’ries,
No end can e’er be got!
And yet with longing heart cry
That ever seeks for Him,
He solaces the fainting
Who stumble in earth’s din.
By His own understanding
Do kings and princes rule;
He fills with holy wisdom
The humble, seeking soul.
Departing far from evil
Is understanding true:
This ever-flowing wellspring
Of life is offered you.
Infinite understanding
God offers in His Book;
Obey, then, Divine Wisdom:
To Christ its Author look!
Praise God with understanding
Of infinite delight.
Partaking of His fullness,
Walk thus in His own might!
Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard,
that the everlasting God, the LORD,
the Creator of the ends of the earth,
fainteth not, neither is weary?
there is no searching of his understanding.”
Isaiah 40:28
