My Master Was So Very Poor

Representative Text

1. My Master was so very poor,
A manger was his cradling place;
So very rich my Master was,
Kings came from far to gain his grace.

2. My Master was so very poor,
And with the poor he broke the bread;
So very rich my Master was,
That multitudes by him were fed.

3. My Master was so very poor,
They nailed him naked to a cross;
So very rich my Master was,
He gave his all and knew no loss.
