            <text>- Day by day -&#13;
	    		______&#13;
"If I were told that I must die to-morrow&#13;
		   That the next sun&#13;
Which sinks should bear me past all&#13;
	   fear and sorrow&#13;
	    For any one ,&#13;
All the fight fought and all the&#13;
		 short journey through&#13;
		 What should I do?&#13;
		 	__________&#13;
I do not think that I should shrink&#13;
		  or fallen&#13;
		 But just go on,&#13;
 Doing my work, nor change nor&#13;
 		seek to alter&#13;
 	   Aught that is gone&#13;
 But rise and move and love&#13;
		and smile and pray&#13;
	   For one more day.&#13;
	   		_______&#13;
 And lying down at night for a&#13;
 	   last sleeping&#13;
 	   Lay in that ear&#13;
 	   &#13;
Which hearkens ever  "Lord within&#13;
	  thy keeping&#13;
	    How should I fear?&#13;
And when to-morrow brings thee nearer still&#13;
	   Do thou thy will".&#13;
			________&#13;
I might not sleep for awe but peaceful&#13;
		tender&#13;
		My soul would lie&#13;
All night long; and when the&#13;
		morning splendor&#13;
		Flashed o'er the sky&#13;
I think that I could smile could calmly say&#13;
		 "It is his day."&#13;
		  	  ______ &#13;
But if wondrous hand from the blue yonder&#13;
		 Held out a scroll&#13;
On which my life was writ and I with wonder&#13;
		  Beheld unroll&#13;
To a long century's end its mystic [?clew?]&#13;
		What should I do.&#13;
		 _______________&#13;
What could I do O blessed Guide and Master&#13;
		   Other than this -&#13;
&#13;
	Still go one as now not slower, faster&#13;
		   Nor fear to miss&#13;
    The road although so very long it be &#13;
    	   While led by thee&#13;
    	   	   ___________&#13;
Step by step feeling thee close beside me&#13;
		   Although unseen;&#13;
Through thorns through flowers whether &#13;
	    the tempest hide thee&#13;
	    Or heavens serene -&#13;
Assured thy faithfulness cannot betray&#13;
		Thy love decay -&#13;
			 ______&#13;
I may not know my God; no hand revealeth&#13;
	    Thy counsels wise;&#13;
Along the path no deepening shadows stealeth;&#13;
	   No voice replies&#13;
To all my questioning thought, the time to tell&#13;
		And it is well.&#13;
		   __________&#13;
Let me keep on abiding and unfearing&#13;
	   Thy will always&#13;
Through a long century's fruition&#13;
		Or a short day's ;&#13;
Thou canst not come too soon and I can wait&#13;
	   If thou come late-"&#13;
&#13;
  Written by Susan Coolidge .&#13;

&#13;
- 日复一日 -&#13;
______&#13;
“如果有人告诉我明天我必须死&#13;
那下一个太阳&#13;
哪个水槽应该让我过去所有&#13;
恐惧和悲伤&#13;
对任何人 ，&#13;
所有的战斗和所有的&#13;
短途旅行&#13;
我应该怎么办？&#13;
__________&#13;
我不认为我应该缩小&#13;
或跌倒&#13;
但只要继续，&#13;
做我的工作，不改变也不&#13;
寻求改变&#13;
已经过去了&#13;
但是起来，移动和爱&#13;
微笑和祈祷&#13;
再来一天。&#13;
_______&#13;
并在晚上躺下&#13;
最后一次睡觉&#13;
躺在那个耳朵里&#13;
&#13;
哪听过“内在的主&#13;
你的保管&#13;
我该怎么害怕？&#13;
当明天更靠近你&#13;
遵行你的旨意”。&#13;
________&#13;
我可能不会因为敬畏而入睡，而是平静&#13;
投标&#13;
我的灵魂会说谎&#13;
通宵达旦；当&#13;
晨光&#13;
闪过天空&#13;
我想我可以微笑可以平静地说&#13;
“今天是他的日子。”&#13;
______&#13;
但如果来自蓝色彼岸的奇妙之手&#13;
拿出一个卷轴&#13;
我的生命写在上面，我惊奇不已&#13;
看到展开&#13;
到一个漫长的世纪末，它的神秘 [?clew?]&#13;
我应该怎么办。&#13;
_______________&#13;
我能做些什么哦，受祝福的向导和大师&#13;
除了这个 -&#13;
&#13;
仍然像现在一样走不慢，更快&#13;
也不怕错过&#13;
这条路虽然很长&#13;
在你的带领下&#13;
___________&#13;
一步一步感觉你在我身边&#13;
虽然看不见；&#13;
穿过荆棘穿过鲜花是否&#13;
暴风雨把你藏起来&#13;
或者天堂宁静——&#13;
保证你的忠诚不会背叛&#13;
你的爱腐朽——&#13;
______&#13;
我可能不认识我的上帝；没有手显露出来&#13;
你的劝告有智慧；&#13;
沿着小路，没有越来越深的阴影偷窃；&#13;
没有语音回复&#13;
对于我所有的质疑思想，是时候告诉&#13;
这很好。&#13;
__________&#13;
让我继续坚守不惧&#13;
你会永远&#13;
经过一个世纪的硕果累累&#13;
或短暂的一天；&#13;
你不能来得太早，我可以等&#13;
如果你来晚了——”&#13;
