[Let the world profusely vain]
Whoso shall receive one such little child in, &c.
—xviii. 5.
Let the world profusely vain,
At each luxurious feast
Glory, that they entertain
The great or wealthy guest:
Glad His blessings to restore,
His gifts as He appoints to give,
Present in the pious poor
My Saviour I receive.

Happy, when by faith I can
My needy Saviour spy,
Feed Him in the humble man,
And all His wants supply:
What I do, most gracious Lord,
For Thine, as done for Thee approve;
With one smiling look reward
My hospitable love.
