March The Sixteenth

LORD of life and death,
We thank Thee for the great adventure of life,
With its untold possibilities,
Its incalculable changes,
Its mighty opportunities.

We thank Thee that - if we have Thee with us -
There is no monotony or weariness in the world;
But we go on - for ever exploring and adventuring,
Across new seas where ship has never sailed before;
Through trackless forests where human foot has never trodden.

We thank Thee that, for those who dwell with Thee,
Each day opens new a continent of vivid experience,
Each day shows new a world to conquer;
For Thy love is new every morning,
And life with Thee is daily born again from its beginning. - AMEN.

- JOHN S. HOYLAND
