[Not many rich there are]

Hath not God chosen the poor of this world? —ii. 5.

Not many rich there are,
Who choose Thy poverty,
Yet some are found, who dare
Sell all to follow Thee:
Jesus, Thy blessed poor increase,
To whom the kingdom's given,
And let Thy wealthy witnesses
Lay up their wealth in heaven.
