The Cyber Hymnal ‎#9152

9152. Dropping Pennies

1 Hear the pennies dropping,
Listen while they fall,
Every one for Jesus,
He will get them all.

Refrain:
Dropping, dropping,
Dropping, dropping,
Hear the pennies fall;
Every one for Jesus,
He will get them all.

2 Dropping, dropping ever,
From each little hand,
’Tis our gift to Jesus,
From His little band. [Refrain]

3 Now, while we are little,
Pennies are our store;
But when we are older,
We will give Thee more. [Refrain]

4 Tho’ we have not money,
We can give Him love;
He receives our offering,
Smiling from above. [Refrain]
