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.

I am content with what I have,   Little be it or much: And, Lord, contentment still I crave,   Because Thou savest such.

Fullness to such a burden is   That go on pilgrimage: Here little, and hereafter bliss,   Is best from age to age.
