As we journey toward the future It is always safe to say That we find truest contentment, Doing duty day by day. Sometimes we may grow impatient At what seems to us delay, But we ever should remember
 We live only day by day. All our sufferings and sadness
 Like our gladness pass away; And we ought to be so thankful That we live just day by day. Day by day How full of meaning, Joys and sorrows 'round us play, And we find life's choicest blessings Doing duty day by day.
