I Glory in Plainness

I glory in plainness
And in gospel truths
I glory in Jesus
For my soul He moves

In the pursuit of intelligence
With what should I fill my mind?
The hallmark of our existence
Is to increase in light.. ours to find

The hand of God can be seen
In all the fields of learning
If to Him one humbly leans
And to His Word we are turning
