Poems of Sentiment: VI. Labor and Rest

Song: “He that is down need fear no fall”

John Bunyan (1628–1688)

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 such a burden is

That go on pilgrimage;

Here little, and hereafter bliss,

Is best from age to age.
