Let us insulate for winter

And seal up all the cracks.

Then sit down in your easy chair

And ease your aching back.

 

Now don't sit too long and doddle

Or hibernate too much;

Or you'll end up in a stagnant state

And there's no fun in that.

 

For many aches get greater

And your joints get stiffer too,

When you forget to take the time

To get up again and move.

 

Now that you've fixed your earthly house

And eased into that chair,

Don't waste the time while resting

Now that's the time for prayer.

 

The home that God has waiting

Needs only love and care

Through faith in His Beloved Son

Who died, that you might share.
