Verse 1
Come, all you worthy Christians, that are so very poor,
Remember how poor Lazarus sat at the rich man's door,
A-begging for those crumbs of bread that from his table fell;
Our Scripture does inform us his soul in heaven does dwell.
Verse 2
Remember Job, the patient man, he was a rich man in the East,
Soon he was brought to poverty and his sorrows did increase;
He bore them all with patience, and never did repine,
But always trusted in the Lord, and he soon came rich again.
Verse 3
Though poor, I am contented, no riches do I crave,
There is nothing else but vanity on this side of the grave;
All you that roll in riches, your glass will soon run out,
No riches you brought into this world, nor none can you carry out.
Verse 4
Now soon that time might quickly come when parted we must be,
Eitherwise in joy, or else in misery;
And we must all account then give, both great as well as small -
Remember, all good people, 'twas one God made us all.
