4 A fable full of truth to me HUMILITY. 1 Down in a green and shady bed, Its stalk was bent, it hung its head, 2 And yet it was a lovely flower, 3 Yet there it was content to bloom, And there diffused a sweet perfume, 4 Then let me to the valley go, MEEKNESS OF CHRIST. 1 WHAT a strange and wondrous story How the Lord of life and glory 2 How he left His throne in heaven 3 If I worship God who gave me Life, and health, and all things here, Should not He, who died to save me, Το my soul be very dear. 4 Jesus Christ, my Lord and Saviour, Let me not ungrateful be; Let my words and my behaviour Prove I love and honour Thee. 5 Father let Thy Holy Spirit Still reveal a Saviour's love; Glory where He reigns above. 6 There, with saints and angels dwelling, May I that great love proclaim; And with them be ever telling All the wonders of his name.
