Oh, deem not they are blest alone
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 67 hymnals Scripture: Luke 6:21 Topics: The Christian Afflictions; Afflictions
Oh, deem not they are blest alone
In what confusion earth appears!
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 45 hymnals Scripture: Luke 6:25 Lyrics: 1 In what confusion earth appears!
God's dearest children bath'd in tears;
While they who heaven itself deride,
Riot in luxury and pride.
2 But patient let my soul attend,
And, ere I censure, view the end;
That end, how diff'rent! who can tell
The wide extremes of heaven and hell?
3 See the red flames around him twine,
Who did in gold and purple shine!
Nor can his tongue one drop obtain
T' allay the scorching of his pain.
4 While round the saint, so poor below
Full rivers of salvation flow;
On Abrah'm's breast he leans his head,
And banquets on celestial bread.
5 Jesus, my Lord, let me appear
The meanest of thy servant's here;
So that at length I may but taste
The blessings of thy marriage feast. Topics: Christ Life and Ministry; Rich Man and Lazarus
In what confusion earth appears!

Help Us Accept Each Other
Author: Fred Kaan, 1929- Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 24 hymnals Scripture: Luke 6:27 Lyrics: 1 Help us accept each other
as Christ accepted us;
teach us as sister, brother,
each person to embrace.
Be present, Lord, among us
and bring us to believe
we are ourselves accepted,
and meant to love and live.
2 Teach us, O Lord, your lessons,
as in our daily life
we struggle to be human
and search for hope and faith.
Teach us to care for people,
for all, not just for some,
to love them as we find them,
or as they may become.
3 Let your acceptance change us,
so that we may be moved
in living situations to do the truth in love;
to practice your acceptance
until we know by heart
the table of forgiveness,
and laughter's healing art.
4 Lord, for today's encounters
with all who are in need,
who hunger for acceptance,
for righteousness and bread,
we need new eyes for seeing,
new hands for holding on;
renew us with your Spirit,
Lord, free us, make us one!

Blessed be ye Poor
Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Luke 6:20 First Line: Lord, when I hear thy Children talk Lyrics: 1 Lord, when I hear thy Children talk,
(And I believe 'tis often true)
How with Delight thy Ways they walk,
And gladly thy Commandments do.
2 In my own Breast I look, and read
Accounts so very diff'rent there,
That had I not thy Blood to plead,
Each Sight would sink me to Despair.
3 Needy, and naked, and unclean,
Empty of Good, and full of Ill,
A lifeless Lump of loathsome Sin,
Without the Power to act or will.
4 I feel my fainting Spirits droop;
My wretched Leanness I deplore,
'Till gladden'd with a Gleam of Hope
From this, "The Lord has bless'd the Poor."
5 Then while I make my secret Moan,
Upwards I cast my Eyes and see,
Though I have Nothing of my own,
My Treasure is immense in Thee.
6 Still may I keep thy Love in View,
Lean there; nor envy those that run;
Still trust to--not what I can do,
But what thyself hast for me done.
7 My Treasure is thy precious Blood
Fix there my Heart: And for the rest,
Under thy forming Hands, my God,
Give me that Frame which thou lik'st best. Topics: Spiritual Poverty
