LITTLE ONES AT HOME. 249

A soul, too, that never will die, has been given,

And there’s room for these children with Jesus
in heaven.

But who will now tell of such good things as these

To the poor little heathen far over the seas ?

Little boys in this land are well off indeed :

They have schools every day, where they sing,
write, and read ;

To church they may go, and have pastors to
teach

How the true way to heaven through Jesus to
reach :

Yet, sad to remember, there are few of these

For the poor little heathen far over the seas.

O, think then of this when a penny is given,

“T can help a poor child on his way home to
heaven ;”

Then give it to Jesus, and he will approve,

Nor scorn e’en the mite, if ’t is offered in love:

And Oh, when in prayer you to him bend your
knees,

Remember the children far over the seas.
