THIS DAY IS MINE TO MAR OR MAKE
















This day is mine to mar or make.
God keep me strong and true;
Let me erring by path take,
No doubtful action do.


Grant me when the setting sun
This fleeting day shall end.
I may rejoice o'er something done.
Be richer by a friend.

Let all I meet along the way
Speak well of me to-night
I wound not have the humblest say
I'd hurt him by a slight.

Let there be something true and fine
When night slips down to tell
 That I have lived this day of mine
Not selfishly, but well.
