James 2:5: Hath not God chosen the poor of this world?
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 13 (1872)
Religion
Not many rich there are,
Who choose Thy poverty,
Yet some are found, who dare
Sell all to follow Thee:
Jesus, Thy blessed poor increase,
To whom the kingdom's given,
And let Thy wealthy witnesses
Lay up their wealth in heaven.
