Proverb Pieces 7

Tune: Mannheim

(\'Lead us, Heavenly Father, lead us\')

Proverbs 27 v.1-6

*******

Boast not yourself of tomorrow

You know not what it shall show

Let another praise you, and not

Praise yourself in selfish lot

So it brings to God the glory

Ever worthy He e\'er be

 

A stone is heavy, sand weighty

But foolish ones wrath it be

Heavier than them both, and too

Wrath is cruel, and anger true

Is an outrage, but who can stand

Before envy in the land?

 

Open rebuke it better be

Then secret love hidden, see

Faithful are the wounds of a friend

But if enemies do tend

You kisses they are deceitful

If trusting them you shall fall
