CXXXVI. To-morrow, Lord, is thine

1 To-morrow, Lord, is thine,
Lodg'd in thy sovereign hand;
And if its sun arise and shine,
It shines by thy command.

2 The perfect moment flies,
And bears our life away;
O make thy servants truly wise,
That they may live to day.

3 One thing demands our care;
O be it still pursu'd!
Lest, slighted once, the season fair
Should never be renew'd.

4 To thee O may we fly,
Swift as the morning light!
Lest life's young golden beams should die
In sudden, endless night.
