| There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it. Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man. (Eccl. 9:14‑15) |
| Ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich. (2 Cor. 8:9) |
Rich in glory, Thou didst stoop;
Thence is all Thy people’s hope;
Thou wast poor, that we might be
Rich in glory, Lord, with Thee. |
When we think of love like this,
Joy and shame our hearts possess;
Joy, that Thou couldst pity thus;
Shame, for such returns from us. |
