ONE DAY'S SERVICE

O to serve God for a day!

From jubilant morn to the peace and the calm of the night

To tread no path but his happy and blossoming way,

To seek no delight

But the joy that is one with the joy at heaven's heart;

Only to go where thou art,

O God of all blessing and beauty! to love, to obey

With obedience sweetened by love and love made strong by the right;
