 The women God has sent.
 Here's to the state of Arkansas,
 That boasts these women grand; Here's to the city of Pine Bluff
 Being honored by this land.
 May this <NnXention always live,
 May God in his love still give
 To the Baptists of our land
 Such women as these who stand. For the spreading of the Gospel.
 For the preaching of His Word God grant they may continue
 Till distant heather all have heard That we may have them her eagain
 We do most earnestly pray,
 For they will leave beams of sunshine
 That will truly tighten our way.
