Our Work and Our Wealth (Chorus for Teachers)
1. Our work is with the children,They claim our special care,For them we plan and labor,With them our lives we share.We cannot, must not, shrink,But humbly act our parts;For the children’s eyes are on us,And we hold their trusting hearts.
2. Most sacred is the mission,Our God hath called us to,No work requires more patience,More perfect lives and true.But oh! we cannot fail,Amid our world of cares,For the children’s faith upholds us,And they name us in their prayers.
3. Next to the blessed parents,Who gave these children birth,We are their foremost helpers,Their truest friends on earth.We seek not worldly wealth,Our hopes are far above;We are rich in heav’nly treasures,For we have the children’s love.
