Show FOR JUST ONE DAY. (Susan E. Gammon in Boston Bridget.) If I could live to God for just one day. One blessed day, from rosy dawn of light Till purple twilight deepened into night A day of faith unfaltering, trust complete, com-plete, . . Of love unfeigned and perfect charity. Of hope undimmed, of courage past dismay. dis-may. Of heavenly peace, patient humility-No humility-No hint of duty to constrain mv feet. No aream of ease to lull to listlessness. Within my heart no root of bitterness. No yielding to temptation's subtle sway Methink, in that one day would so expand ex-pand My soul to meet such holy, high demand That never, never more could hold me bound This shrieveling husk of self that wraps me round. So might I henceforth live to God al-way. |
