COIN OF THE REALM, by                    
First Line: Invest in the first bank of heaven!
Last Line: Will pay, for in him do we trust.
Subject(s): Banks And Banking; God; Heaven; Paradise


Invest in the First Bank of Heaven!
Unlimited funds are secure,
For credit of Love Universal
Is stable, unfailing, and sure.

Join now with the Christmas Club members
Whose wealth by the manger-laid Plan
Gives interest, doubles investment
To further the progress of man.

The coin of the realm still increases
Whenever a heart-throb is spent
On others, who bring their deposit,
And from it a million is lent.

We honor the banker of earthdom
Whose wealth of the heavenly mint
Was lavished on all who have needed,
In measureless loan without stint.

He now draws the soul-gathered treasure
From spirit-made vaults without rust,
And God-of-the-First-Bank-of-Heaven
Will pay, for in Him do we trust.
