There is thy footstool and there rest thy feet where
live the poorest and lowliest and lost. When I try
to bow to thee my obeisance cannot reach down
to the depth where thy feet rest and among
poorest and lowliest and lost.


Pride can never get access to where thou
walkest in the garb of the humble among the
poorest and lowliest and lost, My heart can never
find its way to where thou keepest company with
the companionless among the poorest and lowliest
and lost.
