TO-DAY
To-day alone is thine; The past is thine no more; What joy or grief thou mayst not know The morrows hold in store.
To-day is thine to serve; Christ's vineyard ready stands Wherein thou mayst in every hour Obey His least commands.
To-day the strength is given; Sought, 'twill sufficient be; For past regret, for griefs to come, 'Twas never promised thee.
To-day is thine for praise; To-day is thine to pray; God grant well spent the moments be Of His new gift—to-day.
