(\'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
