| 1 I was poor as the poorest outcast from the fold, I sank by the wayside with hunger and cold; But He bade me look up, all His riches behold; O the wealth of the world is Jesus. Refrain: I was poor as the poorest outcast from the fold, But He gave me great treasures of silver and gold, And a mansion above that will never grow old, For the wealth of the world is Jesus. 2 I was poor as the poorest, I shrank from the throng, I hid in the darkness that dwelt with me long; But He came like the morning with sunlight and song, Now the light of my life is Jesus. [Refrain] 3 I was poor as the poorest, I wandered alone, No dwelling I had, and my pillow a stone; But I heard someone whisper, My child, still My own; Now the peace of my heart is Jesus. [Refrain] 4 I was poor as the poorest; He came from the sky With love that was deathless for sinners to die; And He bled on the cross, and my heart said, ’Tis I; Now the love in my soul is Jesus. [Refrain] 5 I was poor as the poorest till Jesus stooped low And washed all my sins of the whiteness of snow; And so that is the reason I love Him, you know; O the wealth of the world is Jesus. [Refrain] | The Cyber Hymnal #11713 |
