In His Stead
I was hungry—
You gave Me food:
Filled the needy,
Bestowed of good.
I was thirsty—
You poured Me drink:
Blessing many,
Overflowed their brink.
Was a stranger—
You welcomed Me:
Brought lone wanderers
To lodge with thee.
Lacking garment—
You covered Me:
Clothed the strickened,
Eased poverty.
When I was sick—
You visited:
Consoled the weak,
Loved, ministered.
