When people are afflicted,
the poor are trodden down,
God stands within the midst of them,
with neither robes nor crown.
Come hear the call of Jesus,
in every one we greet;
and see the Christ in every face,
in every one we meet.
The poorest of our neighbours,
in spirit or in debt,
find God is standing next to them them,
and God will not forget.
