(\'How lovely is thy dwelling place\')
2 Corinthians 8 v.16-24 parts
*********
Offering for Jerusalem
Paul did collect from them
They at Corinth, here policy
This how it sure would be
Paul\'s friend Titus, and a brother
Would go, they did concur
To take this grace, this offering
It to the needy bring
It would the Lord Him glorify
And would too by and by
Show their ready mind, they did care
And helped the needy there [In Jerusalem]
Avoiding that there any blame
Should be, and too no shame
In giving of this great gift they
Showed honesty alway
Providing, act honourably
In sight of God, so be
And so doing in sight of men
All be harmony then
They of Corinth this diligent
That this offering be sent
So Paul and friends, they confident
Their love shown, it well-meant
