She Will Be Called Blessed

Her strength and her dignity clothe her with beauty;
In works of her hands she excels.
A heart of compassion she turns to the needy;
In service to others, she gives of herself.

She will be called blessed
By her sons and her daughters;
Precious to the Father
Are those who seek His ways.
She will be called blessed,
Held above every other;
Blessed is the mother
Who turns to God in praise.

She rises each morning to see her household;
She looks toward the future with joy.
She teaches her children true lessons of kindness;
And shares with them wisdom the world can’t destroy.
