1          In her house there is a table, [T: Blaenwern]

richly laid with bread and wine.

All the foolish are invited;

she calls to us ‘Come and dine’.

Come and eat at Wisdom’s table,

come and lay your burden down;

come and learn the power of weakness –

Wisdom’s cross and Wisdom’s crown.

2          In this world we will have trouble

all our comforters will fail;

all our answers will seem useless,

all our hopes will seem unreal.

Come and eat at Wisdom’s table . . .

3          There are roads which lead to danger,

there are paths which lead to life:

Wisdom’s ways are filled with choices

for the travellers she invites.

Come and eat at Wisdom’s table . . .
