Blessed are the saints who render
Faithful services of love
To the Lord's dear little children
As they seek those things above.

Blessed are they who go preaching
Without price, but trusting God,
Teaching as did the Apostles,
Walking in the paths they trod.

Blessed are they who give freely
To the pastors that God sends;
For He teaches that His servants
Shall be fed from fields they tend.

They are favored who give freely
Of their substance and their time,
For God loves a cheerful giver,
And their joy shall be sublime.

Children then should serve each other,
Never asking if it pays;
"Cast thy bread upon the waters,"
'Twill return in many ways.

Cast your bread upon the waters,
Never asking if it pays;
God has promised to return it
To you after many days.
