Merry Missionaries

We are mer­ry mis­sion­ar­ies

Don’t you see?

And we give our shin­ing pen­nies

Give them free.

Don’t you hear the pen­nies drop­ping?

Dropping

drop­ping

drop­ping

drop­ping

Never seem to think of stop­ping

Hear them fall.

We’re so sor­ry hea­then peo­ple

Never know

All about the gen­tle Je­sus

Kind and true.

Pennies help to tell the sto­ry

Once again

How the lov­ing

ten­der Sav­ior

Died for them.

Now we’re com­ing down among you

With our cup

And we hope that you will kind­ly

Fill it up.

You big people might give dol­lars

We should say

If you can’t give some­thing small­er

Any way.
