Another hymn

Because they're just so good, here's another from Chuck Wesley:

Which of the Christians now
would their possessions sell?
The fact you scarce allow,
the truth incredible:
that saints of old so weak should prove
and as themselves their neighbor love.

Of your abundant store
you may few relieve,
but all to feed the poor
you cannot, cannot give,
houses and lands for Christ forego,
or live as Jesus lived below.


Jesus, thy church inspire
with apostolic love,
infuse the one desire
to store our wealth above,
with earthly goods freely to part,
and joyfully sell all in heart.

With thy pure Spirit filled,
and loving thee alone,
we shall our substance yield,
call nothing here our own,
whate'er we have or are submit
and lie, as beggars, at they feet.
