1. My master was so very poor,
A manger was His cradling place;
So very rich my master was
Kings came from far to gain His grace.

2. My master was so very poor,
And with the poor He broke the bread;
So very rich my master was
That multitudes by Him were fed.

3. My master was so very poor,
They nailed Him naked to a cross;
So very rich my master was
He gave His all and knew no loss.
