Though I Am Poor and Sorrowful
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #135 (1934) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Poor Lyrics: 1 Though I am poor and sorrowful,
Hear Thou, O God, my cry;
Let Thy salvation come to me
And lift me up on high.
2 Then will I praise my God with song,
To Him my thanks shall rise,
And this shall please Jehovah more
Than offered sacrifice.
3 The meek shall see it and rejoice;
Ye saints, no more be sad;
For lo, Jehovah hears the poor
And makes His prisoners glad.
4 Let heaven and earth and seas rejoice,
Let all therein give praise,
For Zion God will surely save,
Her broken walls will raise.
5 In Zion they that love His Name
Shall dwell from age to age;
Yea, there shall be their lasting rest,
Their children's heritage. Scripture: Psalm 69 Languages: English Tune Title: BALERMA

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

Lord, from thy blessed throne
Author: Nicholl Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #801 (1873) Topics: God Save the Poor Lyrics: 1 Lord, from thy blessed throne,
Sorrow look down upon!
God save the poor!
Teach them true liberty,
Make them from tyrants free,
Let their homes happy be!
God save the poor!
2 The arms of wicked men
Do thou with might restrain;
God save the poor!
Raise thou their lowliness,
Succor thou their distress,
Thou whom the meanest bless;
God save the poor!
3 Give them stanch honesty,
Let their pride manly be;
God save the poor!
Help them to hold the right,
Give them both truth and might,
Lord of all life and light!
God save the poor!
Lord, from thy blessed throne

Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CCLXXVII (1790) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.8.7.6 Topics: The Poor Sinner First Line: God of my salvation, hear Lyrics: 1 God of my salvation hear,
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.

Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CCLXXVIII (1790) Topics: The Poor Sinner First Line: Jesu, friend of sinners hear Lyrics: 1 Jesu, friend of Ssinners hear,
Yet once again, I pray;
From my debt of sin set clear,
For I have nought to pay.
Speak, O speak the kind release!
A poor backsliding soul restore;
Love me freely, seal my peace,
And bid me sin no more.
2 Sin's deceitfulness hath spread
An hardness o'er my heart;
But if thou thy Spirit shedl
The stony shall depart;
Shed thy love, thy tenderness,
And let me feel the soft'ning pow'r,
Love me freely, seal my peace,
And bid me sin no more.
3 For this only thing I pray,
And this I will require,
Take the love of sin away,
Take ev'ry vain desire!
Perfect me in holiness,
Thine image to my soul restore;
Love me freely seal my peace,
And bid me sin no more.

The Friend of the Poor
Hymnal: The Psalter #113 (1912) Meter: 8.6.8.6 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 Languages: English Tune Title: SOUTHPORT
