Poems (Carter)/Life is not commonplace
LIFE IS NOT COMMONPLACE.
Life is not commonplace,
For every day
We read new lineaments
In that dear Face.
For every day
We read new lineaments
In that dear Face.
Life is not commonplace,
For every day
We learn new lessons
Of His boundless grace.
For every day
We learn new lessons
Of His boundless grace.
Life is not commonplace,
For every day
He gives us work for Him,
Each in our space.
For every day
He gives us work for Him,
Each in our space.
Life is not commonplace,
For every day
His perfect will for us
We hourly trace.
For every day
His perfect will for us
We hourly trace.
Life is not commonplace,
For every day
We gain some vict'ry
For the God of Grace.
For every day
We gain some vict'ry
For the God of Grace.
Quogue, July, 1914.
