GEMS OF TODAY, by                    
First Line: When the dew still sparkles
Last Line: Are gems that to you are brought.
Subject(s): Day


At dawn

When the dew still sparkles
On each tiny grass and flower,
You eagerly rise with a thought for the day,
A hope for this quiet hour.
When countless lives are resting
From labors Time must cease,
You breathe a prayer for the waking wourld --
Its love, its joy, its peace.

At noon

When the sun above you
Covers all with cloth of gold,
Your faith bejeweled, gleaming,
Like flowers of the morning unfold --
You stand before your Master,
With a tuneful song to Him
Who opens wide his portal,
And you joyfully enter in.

At dusk

When the glory of sunset
Enshrouds all the earth like a veil,
And a mystic peace from heaven guides you on
To the end of the trail --
Your heart beats high in thanks
For joys you long have sought;
Abiding hope, calm faith, and endless love
Are gems that to you are brought.
