Keep falsehood and lies far from me;
 give me neither poverty nor riches,
  but give me only my daily bread.
Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you
  and say, "Who is the Lord?"
Or I may become poor and steal,
  and so dishonor the name of my God.

Chorus:

Give beer to those who are perishing, wine to those 
who are in anguish, let them drink and forget their 
poverty and remember their misery no 
more.
           Give beer to those who are perishing, wine 
                                        He went to him and bandaged 
those who are in anguish, let them drink and forget 
his wounds pouring on oil and wine
their poverty and remember their misery  
                                       they will eat and have some 
no more.

                 Give beer to those who are perishing, wine
left over
                                              He went to him and bandaged

to those who are in anguish, let them drink and for-
this is a day of good news and we are keeping 
his wounds pouring on oil and wine

get their poverty and remember their mis'ry
it to ourselves

                Give beer to those who are perishing, wine
