CONTENTMENT.
What greater happiness below
Can we poor mortals find;
Than sweet Contentment here to know,
Join'd with a pious mind.
Can we poor mortals find;
Than sweet Contentment here to know,
Join'd with a pious mind.
Regardful of the present hour,
Let life pass on with ease;
Cherish Content; that precious flow'r
Is comfort in disease.
Let life pass on with ease;
Cherish Content; that precious flow'r
Is comfort in disease.
Frail is the state we now enjoy;
But blessings are in store
For those who thus themselves employ,
When swift-wing'd Time's no more.
But blessings are in store
For those who thus themselves employ,
When swift-wing'd Time's no more.
