OBEDIENCE.
If you're told to do a thing,
And mean to do it really;
Never let it be by halves;
Do it fully, freely!
And mean to do it really;
Never let it be by halves;
Do it fully, freely!
Do not make a poor excuse,
Waiting, weak, unsteady;
All obedience worth the name,
Must be prompt and ready.
Waiting, weak, unsteady;
All obedience worth the name,
Must be prompt and ready.
