In a Different Day

In a different day
People were disciplined
They were taught to pray
And of good- they'd defend

Their dress was formal
And they had so little
For this was normal
To the jot and tittle

They prepaired clothing
And kept their homes so clean
With coal in chimneys
It blackened every seam

Then in the Spring
With rags, they'd wash and ring
And how they would sing
As though they'd everything

And perhaps they did
As we are so busy
And, also distracted
With everything dizzy

But, we have been told
We live in the best days
And we must be bold
To show our better ways

How soon we know not
That the Savior will come
Let's do as we ought
So to Him we can run
