HYMN 28.

Fountain of Good! to own Thy love
Our thankful hearts incline;
What can we render, Lord to Thee?
When all the worlds are Thine?

But Thou hast needy brethren here,
Partakers of Thy grace;
Whose humble names Thou wilt confess
Before Thy Father's face.

In them Thou may'st be clothed and fed,
And visited and cheer'd;
And in their accents of distress
Thy pleading voice is heard.

Thy face, with rev'rence and with love,
We in Thy poor would see;
For while we minister to them,
We do it, Lord, to Thee.
