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
