Ye humble souls complain no more
Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #CVIII (1789) Topics: Faith, Holiness and moral Virtues Blessed are the Poor in Spirit 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
A bright reversion in the skies:
3 A kingdom of immense delight,
Where health, and peace, and joy unite,
Where undeclining pleasures rise,
And every wish hath full supplies:
4 A kingdom which can ne'er decay,
Tho' time sweeps earthly thrones away;
The state, which power and truth sustain,
Unmov'd for ever must remain.
5 Great God, to thee we breathe our prayer;
If thou confirm our interest there,
Enroll'd among thy happy poor,
Our largest wishes ask no more.

Ye humble souls complain no more
Happy the man, whose tender care
Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms with occasional hymns (Charleston hymnal) #H.XXV (1792) Topics: Charity to the Poor Lyrics: 1 Happy the man, whose tender care
Relieves the poor distrest,
When he's by trouble compass'd round,
The Lord shall give him rest.
2 The Lord his life, with blessings crown'd,
In safety shall prolong!
And disappoint the will of those
Who seek to do him wrong.
3 If he, in languishing estate,
Opprest with sickness, lie;
The Lord will easy make his bed,
And inward strength supply.

O Lord, Be Thou My Helper True
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #18 (1934) Meter: 8.8.6 D Topics: The Poor Lyrics: 1 O Lord, be Thou my helper true,
For just and godly men are few;
The faithful who can find?
From truth and wisdom men depart,
With flattering lips and double heart
They speak their evil mind.
2 The lips that speak, the truth to hide,
The tongues of arrogance and pride,
That boastful words employ,
False-speaking tongues that boast their might,
That own no law, that know no right,
Jehovah will destroy.
3 Because the poor are sore oppressed,
Because the needy are distressed,
And bitter are their cries,
The Lord will be their Helper strong;
To save them from contempt and wrong
Jehovah will arise.
4 Jehovah's promises are sure,
His words are true, His words are pure
As silver from the flame.
Though base men walk on every side,
His saints are safe, whate'er betide,
Protected by His Name. Scripture: Psalm 12 Languages: English Tune Title: BREMEN
O Lord, Be Thou My Helper True
Unto Thy Temple, Lord, We Come

with thankful hearts to worship thee;
and pray that this may be our home
until we touch eternity:
2 The common home of rich and poor,
of bond and free, and great and small;
large as thy love forevermore,
and warm and bright and good to all.
3 May thy whole truth be spoken here;
thy gospel light for ever shine;
thy perfect love cast out all fear,
and human life become divine. Languages: English Tune Title: DUKE STREET
Unto Thy Temple, Lord, We Come
Why do the wealthy Wicked boast
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P37b (1766) Topics: Charity to the poor Lyrics: 1 Why do the wealthy Wicked boast,
And grow profanely bold?
The meanest Portion of the Just
Excels the Sinner's Gold.
2 The Wicked borrows of his Friends,
But ne'er designs to pay;
The Saint is merciful and lends,
Nor turns the Poor away.
3 His Alms with lib'ral Heart he gives
Amongst the Sons of Need;
His Mem'ry to long Ages lives,
And blessed is his Seed.
4 His Lips abhor to talk prophane,
To slander or defraud;
His ready Tongue declares to Men
What he has learn'd of GOD.
5 The Law and Gospel of the Lord
Deep in his Heart abide;
Led by the Spirit, and the Word,
His Feet shall never slide.
6 When Sinners fall, the Righteous stand,
Preserv'd from ev'ry Snare;
They shall possess the promis'd Land,
And dwell for ever there. Scripture: Psalm 37:16-31 Languages: English
Why do the wealthy Wicked boast
Blest is the Man whose Bowels move
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P41 (1766) Topics: Charity to the poor Lyrics: 1 Blest is the Man whose Bowels move,
And melt with Pity to the Poor;
Whose Soul, by sympathizing Love,
Feels what his Fellow-Saints endure.
2 His Heart contrives for their Relief
More Good than his own Hands can do;
He, in the Time of gen'ral Grief,
Shall find the Lord has Bowels too.
3 His Soul shall live secure on Earth,
With secret Blessings on his Head;
When Drought, and Pestilence, and Dearth,
Around him multiply their Dead.
4 Or, if he languish on his Couch,
God will pronounce his Sins forgiv'n,
Will save him with a healing Touch,
Or take his willing Soul to Heav'n. Scripture: Psalm 41:1-3 Languages: English
Blest is the Man whose Bowels move

To our God the song of praise;
All his servants join to sing
God our Saviour and our King.
2 Blessed be for evermore
That dread Name which we adore:
Round the world his praise be sung
Through all lands, in ev'ry tongue.
3 O'er all nations God alone,
Higher than the heav'ns his throne;
Who is like to God most high,
Infinite in majesty!
4 Yet to view the heav'ns he bends;
Yea, to earth he condescends;
Passing by the rich and great,
For the low and desolate.
5 He can raise the poor to stand
With the princes of the land;
Wealth upon the needy show'r:
Set him with the high in pow'r.
6 He the broken spirit cheers:
Turns to joy the mourner's tears;
Such the wonders of his ways;
Praise his Name, for ever praise!

The golden rule she has pursued
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Global Praise 1 (Rev. ed.) #53 (2000) Topics: Ministry with the poor Lyrics: 1 The golden rule she has pursued,
and did to others as she would others should do to her:
justice composed her upright soul,
justice did all her thoughts control, and formed her character.
2 Affliction, poverty, disease,
drew out her soul in soft distress, the wretched to relieve:
in all the works of love employed,
her sympathizing soul enjoyed the blessedness to give.
3 Her Savior in his members seen,
a stranger she received him in, an hungry Jesus fed,
tended her sick, imprisoned Lord,
and flew in all his wants to afford her ministerial aid.
4 A nursing mother to the poor,
for them she husbanded her store, her life, her all, bestowed;
for them she labored day and night,
in doing good her whole delight, in copying after God.
5 Away, my tears and selfish sighs!
The happy saint in paradise requires us not to mourn;
but rather keep her life in view,
and still her shining steps pursue, till all to God return. Languages: English Tune Title: CORNWALL
