Matthew 6: The' example which to man we owe

The' example which to man we owe
Surely there is a time to pay;
Then, only then, ourselves we show.
To guide them in the heavenly way:
There is a time when urged by pride
We would the' applause of man obtain;
We then should our own goodness hide,
To save ourselves from endless pain.
Father, create my heart again,
That dead to the esteem of men,
Contentedly unknown,
In all I think, or sj eak, or do,
I humbly may the praise pursue
Which comes from God alone.
