Lyics

She loved her Saviour, and to him

Her costliest present brought;

To crown his head, or grace his name,

No gift too rare she thought.



So let the Saviour be adored,

And not the poor despised,

Give to the hungry from your hoard,

But all, give all to Christ.



Go, clothe the naked, lead the blind,

Give to the weary rest;

For sorrow's children comfort find,

And help for all distress'd;

 

But give to Christ alone thy heart,

Thy faith, thy love supreme;

Then for his sake thine alms impact,

And so give all to him.
