Independence

Author: Wotton Hymnal: A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion (15th ed.) #279 (1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: How happy is he born or taught Lyrics: How happy is he born or taught Who serveth not another’s will; Whose armor is his honest thought, And simple truth his highest skill; Whose passions not his masters are; Whose soul is still prepared for death; Not tied unto the world with care Of public fame or private breath; Who God doth late and early pray More of His grace than goods to lend, And walks with man, from day to day, As with a brother and a friend! This man is freed from servile bands Of hope to rise, or fear to fall; Lord of himself, though not of lands, And having nothing, yet hath all. Languages: English
