Lyrics
If Christian mothers
will present to society
children with integrity of character,
with firm principles
and sound morals,
they will have performed
the most important
of all missionary labors
No higher work
No higher work
Was ever committed to mortals
Than the shaping of character
…who can tell the future
of a growing child, or youth?
Let the greatest care
be bestowed upon the culture
of your children.
One child, properly disciplined
in the principles of truth,
who has the love
and fear of God
woven through the character,
will possess a power for good in the world
that cannot be estimated.
No higher work
No higher work
was ever committed to mortals
than the shaping of character
