Appeared in his vStar in the East, and Other Poems, 1824, pp. 60-61, in 4 stanzas of 6 lines and entitled "The Poor Man's Hymn, 'Hath not God chosen the poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom,’ James, ii. 5." In 1856 it was repeated in his Hymns of Praise, Prayer, &c, p. 147, and headed with the text, "The disciple is not above his Master," Luke vi. 40.
