If he who rules the world’s affairs,
For me an ample board prepared;
My grateful heart to him shall rise,
Like burning incense to the skies.
Nor will I fail while I have store,
To give a portion to the poor;
Those who are friends, my God, to thee,
Shall ever find a friend in me.
If I were great, I’d not oppress,
If rich, be full of tenderness;
Deprived of all, I’ll not repine,
But cheerfully my all resign.
