Tune: Melcombe
('New every morning is the love')
Proverbs 2 v.1-9
**********
If you will receive wisdom's words
They shall be useful to be heard
And treasure wisdom's commands, so
Incline ear to it and it know
Apply heart to understanding
Call out for knowledge in each thing
Lift up voice for understanding
The LORD shall wisdom to you bring
If you seek wisdom as silver
And search for her as hid treasure
Then shall you understand the fear
Of the LORD, shall revere Him here
And shall the knowledge of God find
It shall be shown to you, His mind
For the LORD gives wisdom, from His
Mouth knowledge, understanding is
He stores up sound wisdom to give
To the righteous, so they may live
Wisely, knowing Him, He a shield
To the upright, they to Him yield
He does guard the paths of justice
Preserves way of His saints, true this
We shall sure understand His way
And every good path all our days

Nicely done Orchi
Thanks SC.
The dentist took away any wisdom I ever had.
Ahh, thanks dusk.
There is a Senryu in there somewhere, Dusk.
One would be wise to understand such words of wisdom.
Thanks M.
Good one, Orchi.
Thanks Jerry.
Wisdom is always with us, it is a shame that those in power dimiss it.

Thanks Andy. You, the fount of all wisdom (well, almost!) advised m not to turn up in 1066 - but I did. Doh!
