The rich man counts his money While the poor man works and toils To the rich man goes the bounty To the poor man goes the spoils The rich man gathers to him The things that he counts as gold The poor man gathers to him His family, friends and God In this life the rich man prospered While the poor man just got by But tonight their paid a visit By the Maker, God on high They both will reap their labors By the words of God's decree The rich man gains damnation The other - Salvation free
