Yesterday and To-day

ANNA M. CHATILLON

When now I think of yesterday,
Its burdens, and horizon gray,
When all to me was dreary,
And every moment weary
With fear that the to-morrow
Would bring new pains and sorrow—

I thank Thee, God! Thou brought'st me light!
I know Thy day is ever bright.
Thou knowest naught of yesterday,
Its burdens, and horizon gray;
Thou knowest no to-morrow
To bring me pains and sorrow;
For Thou art God, eternal good!
Thou madest all! Lo, all is good!
