We Men!

We men! -- We are the stronger sex.
It has always been so!
We send our gifts to mission fields
To which the women go.

While up the steepest jungle paths
A woman bravely treads,
We men, who are the stronger sex,
Do pray beside our beds.

When women leave to go abroad
The heathen souls to read,
We men, who are the stronger sex,
Do stay at home to preach.

While women in some far off shack
Do brave the flies and heat,
We men, who are the stronger sex,
In cool and comfort eat.

Fatigued and weary, needing rest,
The women battle on.
We men, who are the stronger sex,
Do write and cheer them on!

O valiant men -- come -- let us sleep
and rest our weary heads.
We shall not be the stronger sex
If we neglect our beds!
