ONE DAY LESS.

By Sarah F. Sharpe

One day less of toil and care, And one day less of sorrow, The pleasant thought helps me to bear The trials of to-morrow! When troubles come ’t is sweet to know, We’ve one day less to live below.
One day less to watch and pray, And one day less of waiting, The knowledge keeps from day to day, My courage from abating. A gentle whisper seems to say, You’ve one day less to watch and pray.
One day less a pilgrim here, In this dark world so dreary, I have to shed the bitter tear And wander faint and weary; As twilight deepens in the west, ’Tis sweet to feel I’ve one day less.
One day less to intervene, Between us and that morning, When Christ our coming Lord is seen, His happy saints adorning With endless life and robes of white, And golden crowns of dazzling light.
