Looking Upward Every Day

Verse 1

Looking upward every day, Sunshine on our faces; Pressing onward every day Toward the heavenly places; Growing every day in awe, For Thy name is holy; Learning every day to love With a love more lowly;

Verse 2

Walking every day more close To our Elder Brother; Growing every day more true Unto one another; Every day more gratefully Kindnesses receiving; Every day more readily Injuries forgiving;

Verse 3

Leaving every day behind Something which might hinder; Running swifter every day, Growing purer, kinder— Lord, so pray we every day, Hear us in Thy pity, That we enter in at last To the holy city.

Verse 4

Amen.
