Up and Doing

By Albert Carey

EARTH'S golden days are flitting. And art thou idly sitting,— Sitting, idly waiting for The passing of the tide? Soon they're gone, and gone forever, Gone whence thou canst bring them never: They are lost, forever lost, On time's vast ocean wide.
This is the day for doing; This is the day for truing Every line of life's great walk With God's eternal law. Wait not for vain to-morrow. Waste not, in grief and sorrow, The precious moments given For that which God foresaw.
Then when the triumph gleaming, From his blest hand forthstreaming, Falls upon the conqueror, On time's great festal day, Thou shalt not be forsaken, But with the ransomed taken To dwell in peace eternal, Where Christ doth reign for aye. Nortons, Oregon.
