Contentment Still I Crave

CONTENTMENT STILL I CRAVE He that is down needs not fear no fall He that is up needs not to get down He that is humble ever shall Have God to be his guide I am content with what I have Little be it or much I make do with it And pray, lord, contentment still I crave Because thou savest such in your kingdom I will look upon you God Let my will and yours be but the same Save my mind to long for Good On the alter of goodness I cry Tend my steps to success I pray thee night and day In you I put all my Trust Never leave me in the dark Thou knowest purpose thou created me Make me good now. Oh God Least they that mock laugh at me Yet contentment still I crave.
