One understanding to all flesh He gives,
Without that understanding nothing lives;
As is their understanding,—they are so;
The reckoning is the same. They come and go.
The faithful watch-dog that does all he can,
Is better far than the unprayerful man.
Birds in their purse of silver have no store,
But them the Almighty Father watches o’er.
