I heard a Voice at early morning say, "Be glad today! Let go your restless planning and your care, Put off these burdens that your shoulders bear; It was not meant that you should toil in tears And lose the sweetness of these few short years, Look up, there is an easier, happier way. Be glad today!" I heard a Voice at early morning say, "Give me this day! No service from your hand do I request, Only a place within your heart as guest. While others toil, I call you to my feet. Tomorrow, stronger, you can rise to meet The duties that await you in the way. Give me this day!" |
