Not yesterday, tomorrow, but today
Holds all of good for all. Th' impartial sun
Shines not alone for the more beauteous flower,
But reaches where the humblest blade of grass
Works its way up through leaves last autumn shed,
And strengthens it with warm life-giving glow.
And so does Love lend its unwearied power
That, with uplifted eyes, the least may pass
Unhurt, unsullied, through earth's fiercest fray;
Guided in darkness and in hunger fed,
Seeing, through faith, God's perfect work as done.
Man's part is to rejoice, and gladly know
That here and now, for you, for me, for all,
Unnumbered blessings from Love's bounty fall.
