ANGELS' SONGS FROM THE GOLDEN CITY OF THE BLESSED
Edythe Morahan-de Lauzon

<<  LIFE  >>

I DO my daily tasks
Of Life's appointed round;
'Tis toiling, laughing, sighing
These to each day are bound.
And I smile and I say
At the close of every day,
" I know each earthly care
Will surely pass away!"
Then someone calls to me,
" Isn^t Life a weary grind.
Seems as if our journey
Meets with folks so unkind !"
And I say,
" Friend, cheer up !
There's a bright golden cup
In Heaven of love and joy.
Which one day we will sup!"
But sometimes I'm discouraged,
Life seems so gray and blue
Until I see beyond the clouds,
The sun is shining through.
Then I laugh, "Away with care.
Though I have much to bear
Of Life's weary grind,
Yet I'll still do my share!"
And I shoulder my burden
Of Life's sorrow and joy.
For I know of a Land
Where there is no annoy!
And I smile and I say,
" I will drive care away
For I'll live with God,
When He calls me one day!"
So I do my humble tasks.
As I sit beside Life's Gate
For I know they also serve.
Who only watch and wait!
