Blessed be ye Poor

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CLXXVI (1791) First Line: Lord, when I hear thy Children talk Lyrics: 1 Lord, when I hear thy Children talk, (And I believe 'tis often true) How with Delight thy Ways they walk, And gladly thy Commandments do. 2 In my own Breast I look, and read Accounts so very diff'rent there, That had I not thy Blood to plead, Each Sight would sink me to Despair. 3 Needy, and naked, and unclean, Empty of Good, and full of Ill, A lifeless Lump of loathsome Sin, Without the Power to act or will. 4 I feel my fainting Spirits droop; My wretched Leanness I deplore, 'Till gladden'd with a Gleam of Hope From this, "The Lord has bless'd the Poor." 5 Then while I make my secret Moan, Upwards I cast my Eyes and see, Though I have Nothing of my own, My Treasure is immense in Thee. 6 Still may I keep thy Love in View, Lean there; nor envy those that run; Still trust to--not what I can do, But what thyself hast for me done. 7 My Treasure is thy precious Blood Fix there my Heart: And for the rest, Under thy forming Hands, my God, Give me that Frame which thou lik'st best.

(Gadsby's Hymns) #740 (1844) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Lod, when I hear thy children talk Lyrics: 1 Lord, when I hear thy children talk, (And I believe ’tis often true), How with delight thy ways they walk, And gladly thy commandments do; 2 In my own breast I look and read Accounts so very different there, That, had I not thy blood to plead, Each sight would sink me to despair. 3 Needy, and naked, and unclean, Empty of good, and full of ill, A lifeless lump of loathsome sin, Without the power to act or will. 4 I feel my fainting spirits droop; My wretched leanness I deplore; Till gladdened with a gleam of hope From this, The Lord has blessed the poor. 5 Then, while I make my secret moan, Upwards I cast my eyes, and see, Though I have nothing of my own, My treasure is immense in thee. 6 My treasure is thy precious blood; Fix there my heart, and for the rest, Under thy forming hands, my God, Give me that frame which thou lik’st best.
