He that is down need fear no fall,
He that is low no pride.
He that is humble ever shall
Have God to be his guide.I am content with what I have,
Little be it, or much.
And, Lord! Contentment still I crave,
Because Thou savest such.Fulness to them a burden is,
That go on pilgrimage.
Here little, and hereafter bliss,
Is best from age to age!
