DAY B I DAV, :
As day by day the sun uprises
.Darkness flies and light appears,
So day b y day come n ew surprises^
Bringing hope and chasing fears,
The sun may hide Ms beaming glances
When we think he most should shine;
But neither night nor day are chances—
All things move by laws divine.
As day by day the feathered singer
Warbles forth his pure delight.
So eve b y nvo faint murmurs linger
Bound the sable skirts of Night.
And day b y day their worship chorus
Bids us lift our souls on high;
But, ah i we feel they stand before us,
And to God oft seeui more nigh.
O, day by d a y ! ye have revealed
Hidden light where clouds o'e.rhung ;
O, blest i ' o - d a y I t h o u hast unsealed
Bolls of promises unsung.
All the future tells me plainly
How much nobler I can be;
And the past, too, shows me vainly
What 1 lone have failed to see. .
