Jesus, preaching good tidings to the poor,
proclaiming release to the captives,
setting at liberty them that are bound,
I adore Thee.
Jesus, Friend of the poor,
Feeder of the hungry,
Healer of the sick,
I adore Thee.
Jesus, denouncing the oppressor,
instructing the simple,
going about doing good,
I adore Thee.
Jesus, Teacher of patience,
Pattern of gentleness,
Prophet of the kingdom of heaven,
I adore Thee.
