The Shephard Boy's Song


1 He that is down needs fear no fall, he that is low, no pride; he that is humble ever shall have God to be his guide.

2 I am content with what I have, little be it, or much: and, Lord, contentment still I crave, because thou savest such.

3 Fulness to such a burden is that go on pilgrimage: here little, and hereafter bliss, is best from age to age.

Hmmm

which kain school I go sef?

J

I cAn recite it without looking anywhere

sounds strange to me. does dat mean I went to rubbish school

Its obvious you didn't attend the kind of school myself and op attended

I remember the song and the melody. The good old days in primary school.

If that poem is a yardstick to measure "good" primary education, then I am excited that I went to a bad one. I am happy because I appreciate that I wasnt exposed to contentment at my early age. That is extreme wicked thing to do. Inducing the doctrine of content with nothing in the minds of growing kids.

big lies... those poems don't belong 2 good schools
on a 2nd thought, it depends on ur idea of good school. definitely not international standard sha

yay,i knew all dis while that my primary school was d bomb!

Your topic should have been a twenty first century primary school and not a good school.

To b very very realistic I do not like to lie... I do not know this poem

I went to a good primary school but a muslim school

I will always watch uncle senoir's bear bear when he sings it..the third stanza sha, i know not

Lolz i went to some pako school, guess the only synonymous song is the "some have food" break song.

It is not a poem but a HYMN. It's in the small "S.O.P" (Songs of Praise), blue cover (back in the days). Some other popular hymns contained therein are "Now the day is over", "All things bright and beautiful" and "Jerusalem on high"

Reminiscing already

I skipped primary school...

My favorite
So nostalgic right now.
Aunty Mercy.

Lol OP is that the measure of a good school? You're funny.

Wao! Still remember the song till date. My primary school rocked and still rocks.

'All things bright and beautiful' I remember when Uncle Bright flogs us when we don't sing it to his taste

I know the second one, not because I learnt in school but because my mum was fond of singing it to our ears while growing up. I never liked the song then, cause it stopped me from begging for food and other stuff then...but now its a different story.
