I lay in want and grief, and pain, A poor man passed my way, He bound my head, he gave me bread; He watched me night and day; How shall I pay him back again For all he did to me?

ReplyDeleteI lay in sorrow deep distressed:
My grief a proud man heard,
His looks were cold, he gave me gold.
But not a kindly word.
My sorrow passed I paid him back,
The gold he gave to me,
Then stood erect and spoke my thanks
And blessed his charity.
I lay in want and grief, and pain,
A poor man passed my way,
He bound my head, he gave me bread;
He watched me night and day;
How shall I pay him back again
For all he did to me?
Oh, Gold is great, but greater far,
Is heavenly sympathy.
