I	A
	-
Who follows Jesus shall not walk	B
In darksome road with danger rife	C
But in his heart the Truth will talk	B
And on his way will shine the Life	C
	-
So on the story we must pore	D
Of him who lives for us and died	E
That we may see him walk before	D
And know the Father in the guide	E
	-
II	A
	-
In words of truth Christ all excels	F
Leaves all his holy ones behind	G
And he in whom his spirit dwells	F
Their hidden manna sure shall find	G
	-
Gather wouldst thou the perfect grains	H
And Jesus fully understand	I
Thou must obey him with huge pains	H
And to God's will be as Christ's hand	I
	-
III	A
	-
What profits it to reason high	A
And in hard questions court dispute	J
When thou dost lack humility	K
Displeasing God at very root	J
	-
Profoundest words man ever spake	L
Not once of blame washed any clear	M
A simple life alone could make	L
Nathanael to his master dear	M
	-
IV	A
	-
The eye with seeing is not filled	N
The ear with hearing not at rest	O
Desire with having is not stilled	N
With human praise no heart is blest	O
	-
Vanity then of vanities	P
All things for which men grasp and grope	Q
The precious things in heavenly eyes	R
Are love and truth and trust and hope	Q
	-
V	A
	-
Better the clown who God doth love	A
Than he that high can go	S
And name each little star above	A
But sees not God below	S
	-
What if all things on earth I knew	T
Yea love were all my creed	U
It serveth nothing with the True	T
He goes by heart and deed	U
	-
VI	A
	-
If thou dost think thy knowledge good	V
Thy intellect not slow	S
Bethink thee of the multitude	W
Of things thou dost not know	S
	-
Why look on any from on high	A
Because thou knowest more	D
Thou need'st but look abroad to spy	A
Ten thousand thee before	D
	-
Wouldst thou in knowledge true advance	X
And gather learning's fruit	J
In love confess thy ignorance	Y
And thy Self love confute	J
	-
VII	A
	-
This is the highest learning	Z
The hardest and the best	J
From self to keep still turning	Z
And honour all the rest	J
	-
If one should break the letter	A2
Yea spirit of command	J
Think not that thou art better	A2
Thou may'st not always stand	J
	-
We all are weak but weaker	A2
Hold no one than thou art	J
Then as thou growest meeker	A2
Higher will go thy heart	J
	-
VIII	A
	-
Sense and judgment oft indeed	J
Spy but little and mislead	J
Ground us on a shelf	A
	-
Happy he whom Truth doth teach	B2
Not by forms of passing speech	B2
But her very self	A
	-
Why of hidden things dispute	J
Mind unwise howe'er astute	J
Making that thy task	C2
Where the Judge will at the last	J
When disputing all is past	J
Not a question ask	C2
	-
Folly great it is to brood	J
Over neither bad nor good	J
Eyes and ears unheedful	S
Ears and eyes ah open wide	J
For what may be heard or spied	J
Of the one thing needful	S
