Always Remember the Poor
Blessed is the man who
Considers the weak and the poor;
Who has regard for the helpless;
Who cares for them as would a Savior.
In a time of trouble;
Amidst adversity and strife,
The Lord will surely protect him;
The Lord will preserve his very life!
O such a man,
What is his worth?
He will be called blessed
Upon the earth!
Yet as for me, I said
“O LORD!
Have mercy on me!
Heal my soul,
For I have sinned against Thee.”
And in His Word I read,
“Who shows mercy to the poor,
To the Ancient of Days they lend!
And the LORD will reward their deeds;
The LORD will repay all they spend.”
LORD please help me henceforth
To freely lend and not oppress
The helpless, the needy and poor,
And in blessing them, I shall be blessed!
