So often this word seems to be applied to someone able to make quick and humorous banter. But I would like to focus on the meaning "astuteness of perception or judgment".
I was drawn to suggest this word by the intriguing phrasing in this stanza from a hymn "To show by touch and word" by Fred Kaan
Let love from day to day be yardstick, rule, and norm,
and let our lives portray Your word in human form.
Now come with us that we may have
Your wits about us where we live.
