405. He that is down needs fear no fall

1 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.

2 I am content with what I have,
little be it or much:
and, Lord, contentment still I crave,
because thou savest such.

3 Fullness to such a burden is
that go on pilgrimage:
here little, and hereafter bliss,
is best from age to age.
