Acts 24:17: My hope is fix'd on things above

My hope is fix'd on things above.
My faith exerts itself by love,
By yearning pity for the poor;
Christ in His members to relieve,
Cheerful my little all I give,
I render them my all and more:

Their advocate with others I,
A beggar turn for their supply,
Their every want my own I make,
Honour as God's peculiar seed,
And only live to serve and feed
My bosom-friends for Jesus' sake.
