Hymns for the Amusement of Children (1791)/Pray remember the Poor
HYMN XXXVII.
Pray Remember the POOR.
I just came by the prison door,
I gave a penny to the poor:
Papa did this good act approve,
And poor Mamma cry'd out for Love.
5 Whene'er the poor comes to my gate,
Relief I will communicate;
And tell my Sire his sons shall be
As charitably great as he.
