Reassurance

Reassurance 
 Vain is not our labour
Neither is our reward in figure 
Nor is it in favour
We weren't subdued in vain to this rigour 
To end up making an error

Our treasure we lay at the feet of God 
In whom we have a surety of love
Though our ways be rough
And ahead lies the task very tough
Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown

Rough as our ways may be
We never pray trouble to meet
Neither do we pray experiencing sorrow
But out of abundance to lend
Both to the ignorant and the learned
