(\'O thou who camest from above\')
2 Corinthians 8 v.7-9
*********
Paul to Corinthians did say
As you abound in every way
In faith, speech, diligence, and love
Graces given from God above
He said to see that you abound
In grace of giving too, and sound
But not command, see example
Of others, and follow them all
And to prove that your love, it be
Sincere, in giving wholesome, free
Knowing the grace of our Lord, He
jesus Christ, Son of God, he be
That though He was rich, yet for your
Sakes did empty His treasure-store
Became poor, that through His poverty
You might share His true riches, see
