II.

Wouldst thou the holy hill ascend,

Wouldst see the Father's face?

To all his other children bend,

And take the lowest place.

Be like a cottage on a moor,

A covert from the wind,

With burning fire and open door,

And welcome free and kind.

Thus humbly doing on the earth

The things the earthly scorn,

Thou shalt declare the lofty birth

Of all the lowly born.
