     15 There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

     16 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.

     17 Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.

     18 Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.

     19 He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.

     20 Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.(KJV)

1. O Love, who madest me to wear 
The image of Thy Godhead here; 
Who soughtest me with tender care 
Thro’ all my wand’rings wild and drear,– 
O Love, I give myself to Thee, 
Thine ever, only Thine, to be. 

2. O Love, who ere life’s earliest dawn 
On me Thy choice hast gently laid; 
O Love, who here as man wast born 
And like to us in all things made,– 
O Love, I give myself to Thee, 
Thine ever, only Thine, to be. 

3. O Love, who once in time wast slain, 
Pierced thro’ and thro’ with bitter woe; 
O Love, who, wrestling thus, didst gain 
That we eternal joy might know,– 
O Love, I give myself to Thee, 
Thine ever, only Thine, to be. 

4. O Love, who thus hast bound me fast 
Beneath that easy yoke of Thine; 
Love, who hast conquered me at last, 
Enrapturing this heart of mine,– 
O Love, I give myself to Thee, 
Thine ever, only Thine, to be. 

5. O Love, who lovest me for aye, 
Who for my soul dost ever plead; 
O Love, who didst my ransom pay, 
Whose power sufficeth in my stead,– 
O Love, I give myself to Thee, 
Thine ever, only Thine, to be. 

6. O Love, who once shalt bid me rise 
From out this dying life of ours; 
O Love, who once above yon skies 
Shalt set me in the fadeless bowers,– 
O Love, I give myself to Thee, 
Thine ever, only Thine, to be.
