John Bunyan. 16281688366. The Shepherd Boy sings in the Valley of Humiliation
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, | 5 |
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: | 10 |
Here little, and hereafter bliss, | |
Is best from age to age. |
