Two Pennies

By King's Messenger

Two beautiful, shining pennies! Bright, and yellow, and new! Don't tell me about the heathen — I want them myself, I do.

But then, what if I were a heathen, With no precious Bible to tell The story of Jesus, our Saviour, Who loved little children so well!

I guess you may send them my pennies; Perhaps in some way they'll grow; For little brooks grow to rivers, And pennies make dollars, you know.

I'm not very wise, but there's one thing I think must be certainly true— If little boys ought to give pennies, Big men should give dollars, don't you?

— King's Messenger.
