STRENGTH FOR THE DAY.

T ie mor ling breaks in clokls, ll»e min .isfulling, Upon the pillow still I siiili for rest , Bat yet I hear so many voice- '•nllinir To work, by which my burdened soul is pi ess <l, ! , .-\ Tli.it I can onlyprnv, ‘•Strength for theM.-.y;” kTis 1 I a M-.iyr.nf faitb.but weak repining, For with the wor Is there comes no hope, no li.nht ;' Jn other lives a mV mini win J» shining, "While mine is but a change from night to night; So while- I weep I prnv, ‘'Strength for the day.”,. For it is hard to work in constant shadow, Climbing with tired feet an up-hill r-'iid; And so, while my weak heart dreads each tomorrow, J And once more. I lift mv heavy load, Despi ndinsf still 1 piny, ‘"Strength lor the day’.” AFTER. Fow, looking hack to the longhorns ended, 1 wonder why L feared them as they'" came, Fi.ch brought the strength on which its task depended, And so the prayer was answered just the same. }!ow with new faith T pray,. “Strength for each day.” For in the year .just closed I’ve learned how truly God’s help is equal to nnr need ; Sufficient for each lmur it cometh newly, It" wc but follow where its teachings lead, Believing when we prnv, •‘Strength for the day.” He who lias f.-ll me load which we are hearing, Who walked each step a’ong the .path we tread, If ever for his weary children earing, And keeps the promise made us when he said He’d give us all the way ‘ Strength for the day.”
