Avraham sat before his tent
in the heat of day
there G-d appeared to him
so what did he say
Please wait just a moment
there are three men outside
I must give them welcome
and in my tent shall abide
This mitzvah applies to all
when give hospitality to guest
rewards both now and later
is higher than the rest
