Luke 4:22: The world His abject poverty
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
The world His abject poverty
His low estate disdain.
And nothing great in Jesus see
The humbled Son of Man:
But we who Christ aright have known.
And seen with inward eyes,
Adore the poor mechanic's Son
Who made both earth and skies.
