No home so unwise as the teacher's
That teaches only abroad;
No home so accursed as the preacher's
That tells only strangers of God.
Ah there's many a world's care-taker
Whose house lacks neatness and grace,
And there's many a merrymaker
Whose home is the saddest place.
And I wonder if up in heaven.
Where homes are of priceless worth,
Christ's "many mansions" are given
To the home-neglecters of earth.
