An ajr every fast you keep,
An ajr every prayer;
In alms you give, and even sleep,
There’s ajr everywhere:
For all your pleas and tears at night,
Your constancy at day,
To hear no evil, see no sight,
To go no wayward way;
Yes, every deed attracts reward,
A measure of what’s sown;
All but the fast, for that the Lord
Will make His pleasure known.
