Tune: Rivaulx

('Father of heaven, whose love profound')

Proverbs 8 v.10-14

**********

Wisdom says, Do here receive my

Instruction, and not pass me by

Receive me rather than silver

I shall blessings on you confer

 

And receive knowledge rather than

Choice gold, no comparison can

Be made with me, for  I better

Than rubies, or rich gems allure

 

I wisdom do dwell with prudence

It does include fine common sense

I wisdom do find out knowledge

Wit and discretion to you pledge

 

The fear of the LORD is to hate

Evil, pride, and arrogant state

The evil way, perverse speaking

These things the LORD not glory bring

 

Wisdom has counsel, and is sound

With her right paths through life are found

She is understanding, and strong

Shall prosper you through all life long

    You got any gold, silver, rubies, etc? You won't need them. Pass them on to me. Get wisdom instead!
    Erm, I not quite got the idea of this poem! lol.

    Choice gold"

        Thanks SC. I might have myrrh, but it got no vowels in it! But 'y' is sometimes considered as a vowel at times.
