Lyrics
The Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: And God said, Ask what I shall give thee, What I shall give thee. And Solomon said, Now, O Lord my God, Thou hast made Thy servant king; and I am
but a little child: I know not how to go out; I know not how to come in. Give therefore Thy servant an understanding heart, An understanding heart, That I may discern between good and bad: For who is
able to judge this thy so great a people? And the Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked this thing rather than long life for himself or for riches, or for the life of his enemies. And God said unto him:
Behold I have done according to thy words: I have given thee great understanding And have added both riches and honor, And if Thou wilt keep my commandments, I will lengthen thy days, I will lengthen
thy days, I will lengthen thy days.
