If you were an orphan, and homeless too,
And never had heard of the Lord;
While I had been taught from earliest days
To love and obey His Word;
If you were poor, and ignorant too,
Do you know what I would do?
I would save my pennies and nickels and dimes,
And send them over the sea;
That you might be fed and clothed and taught,
To worship the God who is dear to me;
