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.

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.
