What can my poverty bestow,

When all the worlds are thine?
3 But thou hast brethren here below,

The partners of thy grace;
And wilt eonfess their humble names

Before thy Father's face.
4 In them thou may'st be cloth'd and fed,

And visited and eheer'd;
And in their accents of distress,

My Saviour's voice is heard.
5 Thy face, with rey'rence and with love,

We in thy poor would see; () let us rather beg our bread

Than keep it back from thee.
