'NEW EVERY MORNING
Every day is a fresh beginning,
- l?-r{ gnorn is the wofld ma& new
You, w li(:,u:i“ weary of sorrow and
X n
Here is a b‘efnutiful hope for you—
yir A hope for me and a hope for you.‘
All the past things are past and over,
Tasks are done and tears are shed,
. Yesterday’s errors let yesterday
cover; |
Yesterday's wounds which smarted
. and bled,
Are healed with the healing which
night has shed. |
Yesterday now is a part of forever,‘
Bound up in a sheaf, which God
¢ . holds tight; .
! With glad days and sad days, and bad
* days, which never
Shall visit us more with their
S bloom and their blight,
Their _fullness of sunshine or
sorrowful night.
Let them go, since we cannot relieve
them,
~_ Cannot undo and cannot atone;
' God in His mercy receive, and for
give them!
Only the new days are our own;
Today is ours, and today alone.
Every day is a fresh beginning;
Listen, my soul, to the glad refrain,
And in spite of old sorrow and older
sinning,
And puzzles forecasted, and possi
) ble pain, as
Take heart with the day and begin
. again! '
