Matthew 26:11: Ye have the poor always with you
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
The poor supply Thy place,
Deputed, Lord, by Thee,
To exercise our grace,
Our faith and charity.
And what to Thee in them is given,
Is laid up for ourselves in heaven.
