Happy poverty; or, the poor in spirit blessed

Author: Steele Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCXXXIV (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Spiritual Poverty 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

Leftover people, in leftover places,troubled, disabled, the needy and sad,scavenging crumbs from society's plenty,sick to the soul when their life has gone bad;these are the ones in God's upsidedown kingdomdeemed to be worthy and called to the feast,soup kitchen people invited to banquet,valued as greatly as royal and priest.2. Leftover people, disposable people,locked into prisons of drugs and despair,poverty's children in poverty's spiral,locked out of learning and earning their share;those are the ones in God's upsidedown kingdom,these are the Christ in their shabby disguise,these are the least and the highly unlikely,given a hope and new light in their eyes.3. Here is God's testing of true Easter people,spitited people with service to give,taking to heart the compassion of Jesus,feeling how others must struggle to live;we are a part of God's upsidedown kingdom,we know the heart if the gospel's demand,taking our part with the leftover people,widening the space of the lines in the sand.

Shall atheists dare insult the cross

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #119 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Confession of our poverty; Poverty confessed Lyrics: Shall atheists dare insult the cross Of our Redeemer, God? Shall infidels reproach his laws, Or trample on his blood? What if he choose mysterious ways To cleanse us from our faults? May not the works of sovereign grace Transcend our feeble thoughts? What if his gospel bids us fight With flesh, and self, and sin, The prize is most divinely bright That we are called to win. What if the foolish and the poor His glorious grace partake, This but confirms his truth the more, For so the prophets spake. Do some that own his sacred name Indulge their souls in sin? Jesus should never bear the blame, His laws are pure and clean. Then let our faith grow firm and strong, Our lips profess his word; Nor blush nor fear to walk among The men that love the Lord. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 Languages: English

Hosannah! let the earth and skies Repeat the joyful sound Rocks, hills, and vales, reflect the voice In one eternal round. Scripture: Psalm 16 Languages: English

Whence do our mournful thoughts arise?

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #202 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Confession of our poverty; Poverty confessed Lyrics: Whence do our mournful thoughts arise? And where's our courage fled? Have restless sin and raging hell Struck all our comforts dead? Have we forgot th' almighty name That formed the earth and sea? And can an all-creating arm Grow weary or decay? Treasures of everlasting might In our Jehovah dwell; He gives the conquest to the weak And treads their foes to hell. Mere mortal power shall fade and die, And youthful vigor cease: But we that wait upon the Lord Shall feel our strength increase. The saints shall mount on eagles' wings, And taste the promised bliss, Till their unwearied feet arrive Where perfect pleasure is. Scripture: Isaiah 40:27-30 Languages: English
