The Shepherd Boy's Song in the Valley of Humiliation

 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.

Fulness to such a burden is
     That go on to pilgrimage;
Here little and hereafter bliss
     Is best from age to age.

-- John Bunyan
