The Claims Of The Poor

Author: Thomas B. Murray Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: The arrowy sleet, and winter wind Lyrics: 1 The arrowy sleet, and winter wind, That beat against our latchèd door, With plaintive voices call to mind The wants and sorrows of the poor. 2 Can we enjoy our Christmas home, Its cheerful fire, and table spread, Yet lightly think of those that roam Without, unsheltered and unfed? 3 We all need kindness: who shall say But he may come at last to crave Relief along the rugged way, That leads through trouble to the grave? 4 Then love the poor; and ope your hand, Not grudgingly but with good will, And suffer not the needy band To stand unhelped and shivering still. 5 For ’tis a blessèd thing indeed, Which not e’en monarchs should despise, When men of wealth and goodness read Their history in the poor man’s eyes. 6 Now change the view; and who shall dare To treat with insult or neglect Those whom the Lord hath made His care, And whom He surely will protect? 7 Turn to the words of sacred lore, And mark how fully they disclose His will, who careth for the poor, And taketh vengeance on their foes. 8 See what a hedge He hath supplied, And made the sufferers’ cause His own, Lest fierceness, or the foot of pride, Should hurt the poor, or cast them down. 9 Hath He not sent His only Son To share and thus to sanctify A state that need bring shame to none, The state of lowly poverty? 10 Yes, Christ endured the shame and loss; And His cold home at Bethlehem, The mountains bare, the painful cross, May teach the poor He cared for them. 11 Foxes had holes, the bird its nest; But while each creature found a bed, The Savior had no place of rest, Whereon to lay His weary head. 12 O honor then your Maker’s name; And love the poor, lest ye be found Reproaching Him who poor became, That ye in riches might abound.

'Twas for Thy Sake, Eternal God

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics: 1. ’Twas for Thy sake, eternal God, Thy Son sustained that heavy load Of base reproach and sore disgrace, And shame defiled His sacred face. 2. The Jews, His brethren and His kin, Abused the Man that checked their sin; While He fulfilled Thy holy laws, They hate Him, but without a cause. 3. My Father’s house, said He, was made A place for worship, not for trade; Then scattering all their gold and brass, He scourged the merchants from the place. 4. Zeal for the temple of His God Consumed His life, exposed His blood; Reproaches at Thy glory thrown He felt, and mourned them as His own. 5. His friends forsook, His followers fled, While foes and arms surround His head; They curse Him with a slanderous tongue, And the false judge maintains the wrong. 6. His life they load with hateful lies, And charge His lips with blasphemies; They nail Him to the shameful tree: There hung the Man that died for me. 7. Wretches with hearts as hard as stones Insult His piety and His groans; Gall was the food they gave Him there, And mocked His thirst with vinegar. 8. But God beheld, and from His throne Marks out the men that hate His Son; The hand that raised Him from the dead, Shall pour the vengeance on their head. Used With Tune: ST.

Accept my sacrifice of praise and make me know your judgments, LORD. 3 When danger brings me close to death, your law stays with me night and day. The wicked lay a snare for me, yet from your truth I will not stray. 4 Your precepts are my heritage, they make my heart and soul rejoice.
