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;
