hay Jays A.Coming,


know my sayings common
But it's no less wrong for that
CTS like some other proverbs
That we rattle on so paD.
It's not healthy doctrine
For 1t brings too little cheer.
Don't say, MY days a-comn' -
Why. your day is always herel
None of the days is labeled,
They are every one for you;
Your day, If you'll but use 1t
For the best that you can do.
Your day--and the one who gave II
Every night your strength restores.
Don't say: my days a-coming"-
For the one that's here Is yours.
In Gods last grand accounting
Twill be asked of you and me
Just how we used our drugstore
In the place whore mortals be.
Then, If you spent them waiting,
All the wasted days you'll rue.
Your day was never coming
You'll find they were all for you.
