Though I Am Poor and Sorrowful

Happy poverty; or, the poor in spirit blessed

Author: Steele Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCXXXIV (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Happiness Of the poor in spirit; Poor in spirit blessed First Line: Ye humble souls, complain no more Lyrics: 1 Ye humble souls, complain no more, Let faith survey your future store; How happy, how divinely blest, The sacred words of truth attest. 2 When conscious grief laments sincere, And pours the penitential tear; Hope points to your dejected eyes, The bright reversion in the skies. 3 In vain the sons of wealth and pride Despise your lot, your hopes deride: In vain they boast their little stores, Trifles are theirs, a kingdom yours:— 4 A kingdom of immense delight, Where health, and peace, and joy unite; Where undeclining pleasures rise, And every wish hath full supplies: 5 A kingdom which can ne'er decay, While time sweeps earthly thrones away; The state which power and truth sustain, Unmov'd for ever must remain. 6 There shall your eyes with rapture view The glorious friend that dy'd for you; That dy'd to ransom, dy'd to raise To crowns of joy, and songs of praise. 7 Jesus, to thee I breathe my prayer, Reveal, confirm my interest there: Whate'er my humble lot below, This, this my soul desires to know! 8 O let me hear that voice divine Pronounce the glorious blessing mine! Enroll'd among thy happy poor, My largest wishes ask no more. Scripture: Matthew 5:3 Languages: English
