Original text and translations

English text

1  Once again, dear Lord, we pray For the children far away, Who have never even heard Name of Jesus, sweetest word.

2  Little lips that thou hast made, 'Neath the far off temple's shade Give to gods of wood and stone Praise that should be all thine own.

3  Little hands, whose wondrous skill Thou has given to do thy will, Offerings bring, and serve with fear Gods that cannot see or hear.

4  Teach them, O thou heavenly King, All their gifts and praise to bring To thy Son, who died to prove Thy forgiving, saving love.
