Remember All the People { Remember All the People by Percy Dearmer, 1929 IN DER WIEGEN-D. G. Corner, Geistliche Nachtigall , 1649 Remember All the People } Remember All the people Who live in far off lands, In strange and lonely cities, Or roam the desert sands, Or farm the mountain pastures, Or till the endless plains Where children wade through rice-fields And watch the camel-trains. Some work in sultry forests Where apes swing to and fro, Some fish in mighty rivers, Some hunt across the snow. Remember all God's children, Who yet have never heard The truth that comes from Jesus, The glory of his word. God bless the men and women Who serve him oversea; God raise up more to help them To set the nations free, Till all the distant people In every foreign place Shall understand his kingdom And come into his grace. Amen.
