Boast not thyself of to-morrow.
Prov. 27:1.
188Doddridge.
To-morrow, Lord! is thine, Lodged in thy sovereign hand; And if its sun arise and shine, It shines by thy command. | 2 The present moment flies, And bears our life away; O, make thy servants truly wise, That they may live to-day. | 3 Since on this fleeting hour Eternity is hung, Awake, by thine almighty power, The agéd and the young. | 4 One thing demands our care; O, be it still pursued! Lest, slighted once, the season fair Should never be renewed. | 5 To Jesus may we fly, Swift as the morning light, Lest life’s young, golden beams should die In sudden, endless night. | |
