Sufficient Unto the Day.


Because in day of my days to come
There waiteth grief to be,
Shall my heart grow faint, and my lips |
dumb,
In this day that is bright for me?
Because Of a subtle sense of pain,
Like pulsesbeat threaded through
The bliss OfImy thought, shall | dare rC
frain
From delight from the pure and truei
In the harvest fields shsllII cease to CLEAN
Since the bloom Of the spring has fled? +
Shall veil my eyes to the MONDAY sheen
Since the dew of the morn hath sped?
Nay, phantom i'll with warning hand,
Nay, ghosts of the weary past;
Serene as in armor of faith stand,
Ye may not hold me fast.
Your shadows across my sun may fall,
But as bright the sun shall shine;
For walk in light ye cannot pail,
The light of the King Divine. 8
And whatever He sends from day 10 day,
am sure that His name is Love;
And He never will let me lose my way
To rest in His home above.
