¶Lyrics / Text

'''1.''' Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the Lord's, ::The earth also, with all that therein is. (Deuteronomy 10:14) '''2.''' The Lord doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, ::And loveth the stranger in giving him food and raiment. (Deuteronomy 10:18) '''3.''' Then if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, ::And satisfy the afflicted soul, ::Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, ::And thy righteousness shall be as the noon-day sun. (Isaiah 58:10) '''4.''' Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, ::For some have entertained angels unawares. (Hebrews 13:2) ::I was a stranger and ye took me in; ::Naked, and ye clothed me, ::Sick, and ye visited me. (Matthew 25:35-36) '''5.''' The blessing of him that was ready to perish ::Shall descend upon thee, ::For thou dost relieve the stranger, ::And causeth the widow's heart to rejoice. (Job 29:13, altered, with additional text) '''6.''' He that hath pity upon the poor ::Lendeth unto the Lord, ::And that which he hath given ::Will he pay him again. (Proverbs 19:17) '''7.''' Let your light so shine before men ::That they may see your good works ::And glorify your Father who is in heaven. (Matthew 5:16) '''8.''' God is not unrighteous, that ::He will forget your works and labour of love, ::Which love ye have showed for his name's sake, ::Who have ministered unto the poor in their distress. (Hebrews 6:10, altered, with additional text) '''9.''' He hath dispersed abroad, ::And hath given to the poor; ::His righteousness remaineth for ever; ::His horn shall be exalted with honour. (Ps. 112:9 → 2 Corinthians 9:9)) '''10.''' His soul shall dwell at ease, ::And his seed shall inherit the earth. (Psalm 25:13) ::And thou shall be blessed, ::For they cannot recompense thee, ::But thou shall be recompensed ::At the resurrection of the just. (Luke 14:14) '''11.''' He shall receive a kingdom of glory, ::And a crown of beauty from the hand of the Lord. (Unknown source)
