Spirit of the Psalms
Psalm 41
Charles H. Spurgeon
Jesus, poorest of the poor!
Man of sorrows! Child of grief!
Happy they whose bounteous store
Minister'd to Thy relief.
2 Jesus, though Thy head is crown'd,
Crown'd with loftiest majesty,
In Thy members Thou art found,
Plunged in deepest poverty.
3 Happy they who wash Thy feet,
Visit Thee in Thy distress!
Honour great, and labour sweet,
For Thy sake the saints to bless!
4 They who feed Thy sick and faint
For Thyself a banquet find;
They who clothe the naked saint
Round Thy loins the raiment bind.
5 Thou wilt keep their soul alive;
From their foes protect their head;
Languishing their strength revive,
And in sickness make their bed.
6 Thou wilt deeds of love repay;
Grace shall gen'rous hearts reward
Here on earth, and in the day
When they meet their reigning Lord.
Charles H. Spurgeon, 1866.
