[Silver and gold he none possess'd]

He hoped...that money should have been, &c. —xxiv. 26.

Silver and gold he none possess'd,
Poor follower of a Master poor,
But with substantial riches bless'd,
Riches which evermore endure;
To men that sold themselves for nought,
An instrument their souls to save,
The promised liberty unbought,
Freely as he received, he gave.
