Finding His Fear

"The works of the Lord are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.... The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom" (Psalm 111:2,10). "Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; if thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God" (Proverbs 2:3-6).

The works of the Lord are great in creation!
How great is the God who created all things!
And oh, as we ponder His works in salvation,
What pleasure is ours to unveil such things!

Come let us search as for great hidden treasure,
And count the indifference of this world as odd!
In the fear of the Lord we'll discover His pleasure,
And find heaven's wealth in the knowledge of God.
