College of Counsels

"Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly.... But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in His law doth he meditate day and night" (Psalm 1:1,2). "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.... Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge, that I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth, that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?" (Proverbs 22:6,20,21).

Excellent things in counsels and knowledge
Are written to us that the truth may be plain.
Thus we're enrolled to learn in God's college,
And pass on His truth to those whom we train.

The counsels of God have been proven, and thus
We have His assurance, and thereby may know
With certainty what has been written to us
To train up a child the way he should go.
