Go 10 tie ant, thou sluggard. consider
her ways and be wise"-Proverbs.
Work has meant salvation since the DAYS
Of Mother Eve,
For the man and wife were idle whom the
serpent did deceive:
And the idlers and the iosfers are the
ones who mostly sin,
But the ones who love TO hustle are ones
who play 10 win.
Work IS grand and noble IT'S the making
Of mankind.
There is always something lacking in the
slow. indolent mind;
For the mind that's busy working is the
mind tha. plans the way.
And the ones who love TO hustle are the
ones who get the pay
Works greatest blessing that the God OF
love could give;
Jesus spent his days In labor teaching
sinners how 10 live.
When HIS task on earth was finished.
Jesus left this final word
That the true and faithful workers shall
be rulers with their Lord.
