WISDOM OF THE COMMON FOLK

In three the wisdom of all people found,
Known by the common folk in every age,
Who will not by the enemy be bound
But seek escape from sin, the Devil’s cage.
In every age, we in old Adam’s line
Embrace the One from Abraham comes down
Through Jesse’s root and David–will now find
The One earth’s thorns will wear as kingly crown.
He’s nestled now all snug in Mother’s arms,
Watched over by her husband, sees their star,
And knows these three come not to do Him harm
But worship Him for all who’re near and far.
The wisdom of these three we all receive;
By fallen one no longer are deceived.
