Author: John W. Peterson Hymnal: Praise! Our Songs and Hymns #493 (1979) First Line: Helping the widows and orphans in their need Refrain First Line: Cups of cold water giv'n in Jesus' name Lyrics: 1 Helping the widows and orphans in their need,
Healing the sick ones and binding hearts that bleed,
Feeding the hungry concerns the Lord above—
By this we serve Him and demonstrate His love.
Refrain:
Cups of cold water giv’n in Jesus’ name—
Cups of cold water are never giv’n in vain;
Some day in heaven, when we meet the Lord,
Each deed of kindness will bring a rich reward.
2 Sharing the gospel with sinners gone astray,
Holding the light up so they can find the way,
Lifting the fallen—this we must surely do,
If to our calling as Christians we are true. [Refrain] Topics: Christian Citizenship Scripture: Mark 9:41 Tune Title: [Helping the widows and orphans in their need]
