Upright, simple, free from art;

Make me as a little child;

From distrust and envy free;

Pleased with all that pleaseth Thee.

2 What Thou shalt to-day provide

Let me as a child receive;

What to-morrow may betide

Calmly to Thy wisdom leave;

’Tis enough that Thou wilt care;

Why should I the burden bear?
