When the Poor Ones

When the Poor Ones（新普天頌讚　第566首）
~ George Lockwood, Jose A. Oliver & Miguel Manzano, Alvin Schutmaat

(1) When the poor ones who have nothing share with strangers,
When the thirsty water give unto us all,
When the crippled in their weakness strengthen others,

(2) When at last all those who suffer find their comfort,
When they hope though even hope seems hopelessness,
When we love though hate at times seems all around us,

(3) When our joy fills up our cup to over flowing,
When our lips can speak no words other than true,
When we know that love for simple things is better,

Chorus:
Then we know that God still goes that road with us,
Then we know that God still goes that road with us.
