THE GOSPEL WOMEN: 9. THE WOMEN WHO MINISTERED UNTO HIM, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Enough he labours for his hire
Last Line: To him 'tis very much.
Subject(s): Bible; Generosity; Jesus Christ; Love; Women


ENOUGH he labours for his hire;
Yea, nought can pay his pain;
But powers that wear and waste and tire,
Need help to toil again.

They give him freely all they can,
They give him clothes and food;
In this rejoicing, that the man
Is not ashamed they should.

High love takes form in lowly thing;
He knows the offering such;
To them 'tis little that they bring,
To him 'tis very much.
