He who will this secure, it saith, must ever labour
To suit the times, and live and act just like his neighbour.
Thou boast'st thyself in God, thy tongue doth aye commend
The blessing God doth as His children's portion send:
“If this be then the case,” the world says, “come and show it,
The happy fortune thou hast had, we'd see and know it.”
Stand firm, thou pious heart, stand firm, thy faith retain!
'Mid disappointment sore thy God will true remain,
Commit thy ways to Him, let Him protect and guide thee,
Thou'lt triumph at the last o'er evils that betide thee.
