Contentment Considered

Tune: Sandys

(\'Teach me, my God and King\')

1 Timothy 6 v.6-8

*********

Godliness, it true be

With contentment, here see

It be great gain, of value great

And not mere luck or fate

 

For we brought in nothing

Into this world, each thing

Given to us by God, His grace

And His mercies we trace

 

And it is certain we

Can carry out, so be

Nothing of this world, empty hands

Depart we from this land

 

Having food and raiment

Let us so be content

With them, and with our God to guide

Us, no better beside
