ONE DAY AT ONCE.

Only one day to bear the strain Of living, and to battle with the pain.
Only one day to satisfy With food and covering, as the hours slip by.
Only one day; to-morrow’s care, To-morrow, if it come, itself shall bear.
Only one day! then waste it not In futile plannings where the Lord is not.
Only one day God gives to me At once; oh, may I use it faithfully!
Only one day to serve my King, And to his feet some wandering soul to bring.
Only one day to fight the fight Of faith, and vindicate my Saviour’s might.
Only one day, maybe, to sing On earth the praises of my Saviour King.
Earth’s day dies down; Lord, lift my eyes Unto the glories of the heavenlies.
One perfect day awaits me there, Nightless and shadowless beyond compare.
The golden day thyself hast won; Thy voice its music, and thy face its sun.
Spring to thy dawn, O day to be! That I may see my Lord who loveth me.
—Word and Work.
