CONTENTMENT

He that is down, needs fear no fall

He that is low, no pride:

He that is humble, ever shall

Have God to be his guide

“Remove far from me lying and falsehood

Give me neither poverty nor riches

Feed me with the food that is needful for me,

Lest I be full and deny thee,

And say, “Who is the Lord?”

Or lest I be poor and steal

And profane the name of my God

Everyday I prayed for the seal..”

I am content with what I have,

Little be it or much:

And Lord, contentment still I crave

Because thou savest such.

“I know how to be abased and know how to abound

In any and all circumstances I have learned

The secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and want;

I can do all things in Him who strengthens me..

Fullness to such, a burden is,

That go on pilgrimage

Here little, and hereafter bliss,

Is best from age to age!.”
