Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Psalm 90:12
Let nothing ever grieve thee, distress thee, nor fret thee, heed God’s good will. My soul be still, compose thee.
Why brood all day in sorrow? Tomorrow, will bring thee God’s help benign and grace sublime in mercy.
Be true in all endeavor and ever ply bravely; what God decrees brings joy and peace, He’ll stay thee.
Amen
Paul Fleming, German Poet (1609-1640) Set to music by Johannes Brahms in 1856.
