Seven Days Plus One
In the Monday of your life
Doing your best with zest
Preparing for the rest.
In the Tuesday of your life
Watch or failure may spoil
Or zeal may overboil.
In the Wednesday of your life
You're halfway through the week
Time for change? Time to speak?
In the Thursday of your life
There's still plenty of time
For all your grace to shine.
In the Friday of your life
Working life's end is near
A weak end you may fear.
In the Saturday of your life
Soon you will leave this scene
What is will be, has been.
In the Sabbath of your life
Soon comes the move away,
Eternal seventh day.
And I heard of a man on the way
Whom the Lord gave an extra day.
He gave it back without complaint,
Then he faced his death as a saint.
