ONE DAY AT A TIME One day at a time, with its failures and fears, With its hurts and mistakes, with its weakness and tears, With its portion of pain and its burden of care; One day at a time we must meet and must bear. One day at a time to be patient and strong, To be calm under trial and sweet under wrong; Then its toiling shall pass and its sorrow shall cease; It shall darken and die, and the night shall bring peace. One day at a time— but the day is so long, ' And the heart is not brave and the soul is not strong. 0 Thou pitiful Christ, be Thou near all the way; Give courage and patience and strength for the day. Swift cometh His answer, so clear and so sweet; “Yea, I will be with thee, thy troubles to meet; 1 will not forget thee, nor fail thee, nor grieve; I will not forsake thee; I never will leave.” Not yesterday’s load we are called on to bear, Nor the morrow’s uncertain and shadowy care; Why should we look forward or back with dismay? Our needs, as our mercies, are but for the day. One day at a time, and the day is His day; He hath numbered its hours, though they haste or delay. His grace is sufficient; we walk not alone; As the day, so the strength that he giveth His own. Annie Johnson Flint. Clifton Springs, N. Y.
