What Poor Despised Company
Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13030 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 What poor despised company
Of travelers are these,
That walk in yonder narrow way,
Along that rugged maze?
2 Ah, these are of a royal line,
All children of a king;
Heirs of immortal crowns divine,
And lo! for joy they sing.
3 Why do they then appear so mean,
And why so much despised?
Because of their rich robes unseen,
The world is not apprised.
4 But some of them seem poor distressed,
And lacking daily bread;
Ah, they’re of boundless wealth possessed,
With hidden manna fed.
5 But why keep they that narrow road,
That rugged thorny maze?
Why, that’s the way their leader trod,
They love and keep His ways.
6 Why must they shun the pleasant path,
That worldlings love so well?
Because that is the road to death,
The open road to hell.
7 What, is there then no other road,
To Salem’s happy ground?
Christ is the only way to God,
None other can be found. Languages: English Tune Title: BEATITUDO

And sit upon a throne.

I find it so, I find it so,
He leadeth me by day and by night,
Where living waters flow.

All children of a King;
Heirs of immortal crowns divine,
And lo, for joy they sing. [Chorus]

That rugged, thorny maze?
Why, that's the way their Leader trod,
They love and keep his ways. [Chorus]

The open road to hell. [Chorus]

None other can be found. [Chorus]

I'd rather be the last of them,
Who are the Lord's alone,
Than wear a royal diadem, and sit upon a throne. Tune Title: [What poor despised company]

Hymnal: A Collection of Spiritual Songs and Hymns #XI (1801) Lyrics: 1 What poor despised company
Of travellers are these,
That's walking yonder narrow way,
Along that rugged maze?
2 Why they are of a royal line,
They're children of a King;
Heirs of immortal crown divine,
And loud for joy they sing.
3 Why do they then appear so mean,
And why so much despis'd?
Because of their rich robes unseen
The world is not appriz'd.
4 Why some of them seem poor distress'd
And lacking daily bread?
Heirs of immortal wealth possess'd,
With hidden Manna fed.
5 Why do they shun the pleasant path,
That worldlings love so well?
Because that is the road to Death,
The open road to Hell.
6 Why do they walk that narrow road,
Along that rugged maze?
Because this way their leader trod,
They love and keep his ways.
