HYMN XI. CONTENTMENT.
I
God's all my portion, all my good,From his rich mercy flows;
And his good Providence secures
The blessings he bestows.
II
I envy not the great man's state,Nor pine to see his store;
With what I have I'm pleased much,
With what I hope for more.
96
III
Then let me make the Lord my trust,And practise all that's good;
So shall I dwell among the just,
And he'll provide me food.
IV
I charge my thoughts, Be humble still,And all thy carriage mild,
Content, my Father, with thy will,
And quiet as a child.
V
The meek, at last, the earth possess,They are the Heirs of Heaven;
True riches, with abundant peace,
To humble souls are given.
