(The poem really did remind me of both the spirit and strength of the mission verses to the song.)

If you have a missionary with email access, you might send it either with the message to be glad they aren’t the ones singing, or the inspiration for them to lead out in song as they teach! (This set of missionaries finished almost every meal they had with us by singing this song, and inviting the kids to join in.

I think he’ll enjoy them.
