I. Looking up - ward ev'ry day, Sunshine on our

Pressing on ward ev'ry day T'ward the heav'n - ly

Growing ev'ry day in awe, For Thy name is ho

Learning ev'ry day to love With a love more low

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;

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 may enter in at last
To the holy city.

Mary Butler, 1881

And some may bring their greatness, And some bring strength and health;

2 We'll bring Him hearts that love Him;

We'll bring Him thankful praise,
And young souls meekly striving

To walk in holy ways:
And these shall be the treasures

We offer to the King,
And these are gifts that even
The poorest child may bring.

3 We'll bring the little duties
We have to do each day;
We'll try our best to please Him

At home, at school, at play:
And better are these treasures

To offer to our King,
Than richest gifts without them;
Yet these a child may bring.
