| Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? (Isa. 58:6‑7) |
| He said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself. (Luke 9:23) |
Round me souls are dying,
Deep in darkness lying;
Thou didst love them unto death;
Oh give Thy love to me. |
Grant that I may reach them;
Grant that I may teach them,
Loving them as Thou dost love;
Oh give Thy love to me. |
