Remember All the People

lyricist: Percy Dearmer, 1929
Composer: Johann Franck, 1681

Remember all the peo­ple

Who live in far off lands

In strange and love­ly ci­ties

Or roam the de­sert sands

Or farm the mount­ain pas­tures

Or till the end­less plains

Where child­ren wade through rice fields

And watch the ca­mel trains.

Some work in sul­try for­ests

Where apes swing to and fro

Some fish in migh­ty riv­ers

Some hunt across the snow.

Remember all God’s child­ren

Who yet have nev­er heard

The truth that comes from Je­sus

The glo­ry of His Word.

God bless the men and wo­men

Who serve Him ov­er­seas;

God raise up more to help them

To set the na­tions free

Till all the dist­ant peo­ple

In ev­ery for­eign place

Shall un­der­stand His king­dom

And come in­to His grace.
