Another Day
A new day breaks in the eastern
sky
White- little white sails go flitting
by
There is yet a giirmner of a fading
star _> ■ ,4" •.
That vanishes away as it drifts
afar;
And soon the beauties of the sun
Devlagyanother day that’s Just
To bless the world with life and
light j •
For the "toauties of day has fol-
lowed the night.
How oft do we think as we start
the day
About another such privilege com-
ing our way
To grant such blessings in your
ifte and mine
Though it all comes from a hand
Wvtoe.^ .......^:;£v.,v4
How humbly thankful each one
should be
Each day a new sunrise they are
spared to see
To start the duties of another day
To brighten life along the way.
Let’s look up with a thankful heart
And endeavor with Patience to do
our part
To make bur community a better
place to live
By the deeds we do and the hand
