The poor in spir¤it ask no more
Than en¤trance at the King¤dom’s door.
They have a claim: their pov¤er¤ty
Is all the King re¤quires to see.

Their’s is an un¤dis¤put¤ed claim,
Pre¤sent¤ed in the Sav¤iour’s name,
They have a key, those bless¤ed poor,
To o¤pen wide the King¤dom’s door.

Their pov¤er¤ty and low es¤tate,
Are gifts from God, ex¤ceed¤ing great,
I mourn to have that right di¤vine
Which makes the King¤dom’s rich¤es mine.
