Although all the world should forsake and forget Thee,
In love I will follow Thee, ne’er will I quit Thee;
For Jesus, both spirit and life is thy word,
And is there a joy which Thou dost not afford?
Wisdom’s highest noblest treasure,
Jesu! lies conceal’d in Thee;
Grant that this may still the measure
Of my will and actions be:
Humility there and simplicity reigning,
My steps shall in wisdom for ever be training;
