Representative Text

1 Hands to work and feet to run,
God's good gifts to me and you;
hands and feet he gave to us
to help each other the whole day through.

2 Eyes to see and ears to hear,
God's good gifts to me and you;
eyes and ears he gave to us
to help each other the whole day through.

3 Minds to think and hearts to love,
God's good gifts to me and you;
minds and hearts he gave to us
to help each other the whole day through.
