When the spotlight beams upon you,
And voices greet the stage;
When your prayers quake the mountains,
And devils flee at your rage;
When your words are sought as diamonds,
And your fame in greatness rise:
Remain little in your eyes,
Remain little in your eyes.
When you know the farthest future,
With a thousand gifts to spend;
When your brother faints before you,
And a helping hand you lend;
When God clothes you with His colours,
Yet He strips you to chastise:
Remain little in your eyes,
Remain little in your eyes.
