O Bless the Lord, My Soul
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 252 hymnals Topics: Poor Lyrics: 1 O bless the Lord, my soul;
let all within me join,
and aid my tongue to bless his name,
whose favors are divine.
2 O bless the Lord, my soul,
nor let his mercies lie
forgotten in unthankfulness,
and without praises die.
3 'Tis he forgives your sins,
'tis he relieves your pain,
'tis he that heals your sicknesses
and makes you young again.
4 He crowns your life with love
when ransomed from the grave;
he that redeemed my soul from hell
has sovereign pow'r to save.
5 He fills the poor with good;
he gives the suff'rers rest:
the Lord has judgments for the proud
and justice for th'oppressed.
6 His wondrous works and ways
he made by Moses known,
but sent the world his truth and grace
by his beloved Son.
Scripture: Psalm 103 Used With Tune: ST. MICHAEL

His blood availed for me.

His soul was once an offering made
For every soul of man. Used With Tune: WINCHESTER OLD

My Jesus, As Thou Wilt!
Author: Benjamin Schmolck; Jane Borthwick Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Appears in 612 hymnals Topics: Poor Lyrics: 1 My Jesus, as thou wilt!
O may thy will be mine;
into thy hand of love
I would my all resign.
Through sorrow, or through joy,
conduct me as thine own;
and help me still to say,
"My Lord, thy will be done."
2 My Jesus, as thou wilt!
If needy here and poor,
give me thy people's bread,
their portion rich and sure.
The manna of thy Word
let my soul feed upon;
and if all else should fail,
my Lord, thy will be done.
3 My Jesus, as thou wilt!
Though seen through many a tear,
let not my star of hope
grow dim or disappear.
Since thou on earth hast wept,
and sorrowed oft alone,
if I must weep with thee,
my Lord, thy will be done.
4 My Jesus, as thou wilt!
All shall be well for me;
each changing future scene
I gladly trust with thee.
Straight to my home above
I travel calmly on,
and sing, in life or death,
"My Lord, thy will be done."

The Friend of the Poor
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: The Poor Duty Towards First Line: How blest the man who thoughtfully Lyrics: 1 How blest the man who thoughtfully
The poor and weak befriends;
Deliv'rance in the evil day
To him Jehovah sends.
2 The Lord will keep him, guard his life,
On earth he shall be blest;
The Lord will not surrender him
By foes to be distressed.
3 Upon the bed of suffering
Jehovah will sustain,
And in his sickness God will soothe
The weariness and pain.
4 O Lord, to Thee my cry ascends,
Let me Thy mercy see;
Heal Thou my soul, for I have sinned,
I have offended Thee.
5 My enemies against me speak,
And they my life have scorned;
They wish my name to pass away,
Unhonored and unmourned.
6 My foe, deceitful, visits me,
By seeming kindness led,
His heart intent on gathering
Some hurtful news to spread.
7 My foes, together whispering,
Their evil plans devise;
Disease, they say, cleaves fast to him,
Laid low, he shall not rise.
8 Yea, he who was my chosen friend,
In whom I put my trust,
Who ate my bread, now turns in wrath
To crush me in the dust.
9 Do Thou, Jehovah, show me grace,
And raise me up again,
That I with justice may requite
These base and wicked men.
10 By this I know assuredly
That I am loved by Thee,
Because my foe does not exult
In triumph over me.
11 And as for me, in uprightness
Thou dost uphold me well,
And settest me before Thy face
For evermore to dwell.
12 Blest be Jehovah, Israel's God
For evermore. Amen.
Let age to age eternally
Repeat His praise. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 41 Used With Tune: SOUTHPORT
The Friend of the Poor
Blest is the man whose tender care
Author: Pratt's Coll. Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: Pity for the Poor Lyrics: 1 Blest is the man whose tender care
Relieves the poor in their distress;
Whose pity wipes the widow's tear,
Whose hand supports the fatherless.
2 His heart contrives for their relief
More good than his own hand can do;
He, in the time of general grief,
Shall find the Lord has pity too.
3 Or, if he languish on his bed,
God will pronounce his sins forgiven;
Will save from death his sinking head,
Or take his willing soul to heaven.
Blest is the man whose tender care
Psalm 41
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 86 hymnals Topics: Poor charity to them; Charity to the poor First Line: Blest is the man whose bowels move Lyrics:
Blest is the man whose bowels move,
And melt with pity to the poor;
Whose soul, by sympathizing love,
Feels what his fellow saints endure.
His heart contrives for their relief
More good than his own hands can do;
He, in the time of gen'ral grief,
Shall find the Lord has bowels too.
His soul shall live secure on earth,
With secret blessings on his head,
When drought, and pestilence, and dearth
Around him multiply their dead.
Or if he languish on his couch,
God will pronounce his sins forgiv'n;
Will save him with a healing touch,
Or take his willing soul to heav'n.
Scripture: Psalm 41:1-3
Psalm 41
Psalm 112
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 78 hymnals Topics: Poor charity to them; Charity to the poor First Line: That man is blest who stands in awe Lyrics:
That man is blest who stands in awe
Of God, and loves his sacred law:
His seed on earth shall be renowned;
His house the seat of wealth shall be,
An inexhausted treasury,
And with successive honors crowned.
His lib'ral favors he extends,
To some he gives, to others lends;
A gen'rous pity fills his mind:
Yet what his charity impairs,
He saves by prudence in affairs
And thus he's just to all mankind.
His hands, while they his alms bestowed,
His glory's future harvest sowed;
The sweet remembrance of the just,
Like a green root, revives and bears
A train of blessings for his heirs,
When dying nature sleeps in dust.
Beset with threat'ning dangers round,
Unmoved shall he maintain his ground;
His conscience holds his courage up:
The soul that's filled with virtue's light,
Shines brightest in affliction's night,
And sees in darkness beams of hope.
[Ill tidings never can surprise
His heart that fixed on God relies,
Though waves and tempests roar around:
Safe on the rock he sits, and sees
The shipwreck of his enemies,
And all their hope and glory drowned.
The wicked shall his triumph see,
And gnash their teeth in agony,
To find their expectations crossed;
They and their envy, pride, and spite,
Sink down to everlasting night,
And all their names in darkness lost.]
Scripture: Psalm 112

All poor men and humble
Hark, the glad sound! the Saviour comes
Author: Philip Doddridge Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 820 hymnals Topics: Poor Lyrics: 1 Hark, the glad sound! the Saviour comes,
The Saviour promised long:
Let ev'ry heart prepare a throne,
And ev'ry voice a song.
2 On him the Spirit, largely poured,
Exerts his sacred fire;
Wisdom and might, and zeal and love,
His holy breast inspire.
3 He comes, the pris'ners to release,
In Satan's bondage held;
The gates of brass before him burst,
The iron fetters yield.
4 He comes, the broken heart to bind,
The bleeding soul to cure;
And with the treasures of his grace
To enrich the humble poor.
5 Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace,
Thy welcome shall proclaim;
And heav'n's eternal arches ring
With thy beloved Name.

Hallelujah, praise Jehovah
Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 22 hymnals Topics: Poor Lyrics: 1 Hallelujah, praise Jehovah,
O my soul, Jehovah praise;
I will sing the glorious praises
Of my God through all my days.
Put no confidence in princes,
Nor for help on man depend;
He shall die, to dust returning,
And his purposes shall end.
2 Happy is the man that chooses
Israel's God to be his aid;
He is blessed whose hope of blessing
On the Lord his God is stayed.
Heav'n and earth the Lord created,
Seas and all that they contain;
He delivers from oppression,
Righteousness he will maintain.
3 Food he daily gives the hungry,
Sets the mourning pris'ner free,
Raises those bowed down with anguish,
Makes the sightless eyes to see.
Well Jehovah loves the righteous,
And the stranger he befriends,
Helps the fatherless and widow,
Judgment on the wicked sends.
4 Hallelujah, praise Jehovah,
O my soul, Jehovah praise;
I will sing the glorious praises
Of my God through all my days.
Over all God reigns for ever,
Through all ages he is King;
Unto him, thy God, O Zion,
Joyful hallelujahs sing.

And help me to believe;
Simply do I now draw near,
Thy blessing to receive;
Full of guilt, alas! I am,
But to thy wounds for refuge flee;
Friend of sinners, spotless Lamb,
Thy blood was shed for me.
2 Nothing have I, LORD, to pay,
Nor can thy grace procure;
Empty send me not away,
For I, thou know'st, am poor,
Dust and ashes is my name,
My all is sin, and misery:
Friend of sinners, spotless Lamb,
Thy blood was shed for me.
3 Without money, without price,
I come thy love to buy;
From myself I turn my eyes,
The chief of sinners, I:
Take, O take me, as I am,
And let me lose myself in thee;
Friend of sinners, spotless lamb,
Thy blood was shed for me.

The poor sinner
Religion and Justice, Goodness and Truth; or, Duties to God and Man; or, the Qualifications of a Christian
Appears in 121 hymnals Topics: Poor charity to them; Poor charity to them First Line: Who shall ascend thy heavenly place Lyrics: 1 Who shall ascend thy heavenly place,
Great God, and dwell before thy face?
The man who minds religion now,
And humbly walk with God below:
2 Whose hands are pure, whose heart is clean;
Whose lips shall speak the things they mean;
No slanders dwell upon his tongue;
He hates to do his neighbour wrong.
3 [Scarce will he trust an ill report,
Nor vent it to his neighbour's hurt:
Sinners of state he can despise,
But saints are honour'd in his eyes.]
4 [Firm to his word he ever stood,
And always makes his promise good
Nor dares to change the thing he swears,
Whatever pain or loss he bears.]
5 [He never deals in bribing gold,
And mourns that justice should be sold:
While others scorn and wrong the poor,
Sweet charity attends his door.]
6 He loves his enemies, and prays
For those that curse him to his face;
And doth to all men still the same
That he would hope or wish from them.
7 Yet, when his holiest works are done,
His soul depends on grace alone:
This is the man thy face shall see,
And dwell for ever, Lord, with thee. Scripture: Psalm 15

Faith and Works
Author: William H. Drummond Appears in 33 hymnals Topics: Poor, the ; Poor, the First Line: One cup of healing oil and the wine Lyrics: 1 One cup of healing oil and wine,
One offering laid on mercy's shrine,
Is thrice more grateful, Lord, to thee,
Than lifted eye or bended knee.
2 In true and inward faith we trace
The source of every outward grace;
Within the pious heart it plays,
A living fount of joy and praise.
3 Kind deeds of peace and love betray
Where'er the stream has found its way;
But, where these spring not rich and fair,
The stream has never wandered there.

Hallelujah! Raise, O Raise
Author: Josiah Conder Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 37 hymnals Topics: Poor Lyrics: 1 Hallelujah! Raise, O raise
to our God the song of praise;
all his servants join to sing
God our Savior and our King.
2 Blessed be forevermore
that dread name which we adore:
round the world his praise be sung
through all lands, in ev'ry tongue.
3 O'er all nations God alone,
higher than the heav'ns his throne;
who is like to God Most High,
infinite in majesty!
4 Yet to view the heav'ns he bends;
yea, to earth he condescends;
passing by the rich and great,
for the low and desolate.
5 He can raise the poor to stand
with the princes of the land;
wealth upon the needy show'r:
set him with the high in pow'r.
6 He the broken spirit cheers:
turns to joy the mourner's tears;
such the wonders of his ways;
praise his name, forever praise!
Scripture: Psalm 113 Used With Tune: ALCESTER
Hallelujah! Raise, O Raise
