Jehovah’s Warm Appeal: “Be Wise, My Son”

Jehovah’s Warm Appeal: “Be Wise, My Son”

(Proverbs 27:11)

1. Young man and young woman,

do give your heart to me.

My foe who now taunts me

will then be made to see.

Your youth and devotion

to me you freely give;

You show all the world

that for me you really live.

(CHORUS)

Beloved son and precious daughter,

Be wise and make my heart rejoice.

That out of your own heart you serve me,

And furnish praise by your own choice.

2. Rejoice and take pleasure

in giving me your all,

And though you may stumble,

I’ll raise you if you fall.

No matter who fails you

or proves to be untrue,

Take comfort in knowing

I’ll always cherish you.

(CHORUS)

Beloved son and precious daughter,

Be wise and make my heart rejoice.

That out of your own heart you serve me,

And furnish praise by your own choice.
