650. L. M. Wesley's Coll.

Glorying in Christ.

1Let not the wise their wisdom boast;

The mighty glory in his might;

The rich in flattering riches trust,

Which take their everlasting flight.

2The rush of numerous years bears down

The most gigantic strength of man;

And where is all his wisdom gone,

When dust he turns to dust again?

3The Lord, my righteousness, I praise,

I triumph in the love divine,

The wisdom, wealth, and strength of grace

In Christ through endless ages mine.
