Sheet music

  1. 1Hear the pennies dropping,Listen while they fall,Ev’ry one for Jesus,He will get them all.Dropping, dropping, dropping, dropping,Hear the pennies fall;Ev’ry one for Jesus,He will get them all.
  2. 2Dropping, dropping ever,From each little hand;‘Tis our gift to Jesus,From His little band.Dropping, dropping, dropping, dropping,Hear the pennies fall;Ev’ry one for Jesus,He will get them all.
  3. 3Now while we are little,Pennies are our store,But when we are older,Lord, we’ll give Thee more.Dropping, dropping, dropping, dropping,Hear the pennies fall;Ev’ry one for Jesus,He will get them all.
  4. 4If we have not money,We can give Thee love;Thou wilt own our off’ringSmiling from above.Dropping, dropping, dropping, dropping,Hear the pennies fall;Ev’ry one for Jesus,He will get them all.
