This we have in common
The Lord made us all
From the foolish to the wise
The rich and the poor
Wealth is a defence from this worlds needs
But a good name is better
It has been decreed
Wealth can't defend you at the end
The books will be opened all is revealed
The intent of the heart nothing concealed
Wisdom will defend the poor
Wealth, really, what is it for?
Being wise they became fools
The Word is correct
Society darkened
By its effects
All problems
Stem from one thing
The perversion of knowledge and fear
Of the Almighty King.

There's that controversial verse in 'All things bright and beautiful', removed from some hymn books:
'The rich man in his castle
The poor man at his gate....'
I am very grateful to those who came before us. Thanks for being you.
