The Shepherd Boy Sings in the Valley of Humiliation Matches original text
Language: English
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, 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; Here little, and hereafter bliss, Is best from age to age.
