The Women Who Ministered Unto Him + 

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. + 
