Hymns for the Amusement of Children (1791)/Contentment

God's all my portion, all my good, From his rich mercy flows; And his good Providence secures The blessings he bestows.

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.

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.

I charge my thoughts, Be humble still, And all thy carriage mild, Content, my Father, with thy will, And quiet as a child.

The meek, at last, the earth possess, They are the Heirs of Heaven; True riches, with abundant peace, To humble souls are given.
