[Know all who help bestow]

Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his, &c. —xxviii. 8.

Know all who help bestow
On Jesus in His poor,
Good to the saints ye cannot show,
Without receiving more;
Expect your kindness here
An hundred-fold restored,
And when His glory shall appear,
Your infinite reward.
But first your present need
Of a Physician know,

448

And virtue shall from Him proceed
Who bore your griefs below;
His help if sinners claim
As quite incurable,
The prayer of faith, in Jesu's name,
Doth soul and body heal.
