Tenth Sunday after Trinity
From Hymns of Love and Praise (1866)
Brightly hopeful for the future.
Fondly grateful for the past,
Onward, christians, ever onward.
While the day of grace shall last.
Full of memories of mercies.
Full of hopes of calm repose
In the rest of heaven's fruition.
When the day of faith shall close.
Emptied of self's sin and weakness,
liU'd with Grace and strength Divine,
Onward, upward, homeward toiling.
Till the day of work decline.
Ever let our conversation
Be in hea/n, though we are here.
Till the night of death hath vanish'd.
And the day of life appear.

Text: Thy loving-kindness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. — Ps. xxiii. 6.
