OBSERVING WHAT YOU DO
I’d rather see a sermon
Than hear one any day,
I’d rather one would walk with me
Than merely tell the way.
The eye’s a better pupil,
More willing than the ear,
Fine counsel is confusing
But example’s always clear.
.
The best of all the preachers
Are the ones who live their creeds,
For to see good put in action
Is what everybody needs.
And the lecture you deliver
May be very wise and true,
But I’d rather get my lesson
By observing what you do.
