The Song of the Shepherd Boy in the Valley of Humiliation
John Bunyan 1628 (Elstow, Bedfordshire) – 1688 (London)
He that is down need 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 gavest such.
