     18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. 20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. 21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged. 22 Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God: 23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; 24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. 25 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.(KJV)

1. Oh, blest the house, whate’er befall, 
Where Jesus Christ is all in all! 
Yea, if He were not dwelling there, 
How dark and poor and void it were! 

2. Oh, blest that house where faith ye find 
And all within have set their mind 
To trust their God and serve Him still 
And do in all His holy will! 

3. Oh, blest the parents who give heed 
Unto their children’s foremost need 
And weary not of care or cost! 
May none to them and heaven be lost! 

4. Blest such a house, it prospers well, 
In peace and joy the parents dwell, 
And in their children’s lot is shown 
How richly God can bless His own. 

5. Then here will I and mine today 
A solemn covenant make and say: 
Though all the world forsake Thy Word, 
I and my house will serve the Lord!
