GO BLITHELY
Give us to go blithely on our business all this day.Robert Louis Stevenson

Go blithely! for to serve thy God
A joy should ever be;
Rejoice! lift up the head,—the heart,—
From sadness be thou free.

Go blithely! Footsore, weary, thou?
His footsteps went before;
Nor lagging tread, nor downcast mien,
Thy Saviour can adore.

Go blithely! See! a Pillar glows!
No night of darkness, thine!
Or one of cloud this day will light
By radiance divine.
