Tune & Hymn: 'To the river I am going'

Proverbs 3 v.1-9

**********

Do not now forget the LORD's laws

They shall keep you in way sure

Let your heart His commandments keep

So you guarded, still His sheep

 

For length of days, long life and peace

They shall add to you, not cease

Let not mercy, truth forsake you

Keep them in your heart, them view

 

Trust in the LORD with all your heart

Trust not to self, any part

Acknowledge Him in all your ways

He shall guide your paths all days

 

So shall you find favour, esteem

Your path lit by His bright beam

Be not wise now in your own eyes

Fear the LORD, trust to no lies

 

It shall be health to your body

Refreshment to your bones, see

Honour Him with all your substance

And with all your first-fruits thence

  • Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.7.8.7. metre. I am unsure if this hymn has a Chorus. If it has, it is also in 8.7.8.7. One source says the Publication Date is 2011, so it's 'modern'. I thought I knew it before that year.
