Looking Upward Every Day

Looking up­ward ev­ery day

Sunshine on our fac­es;

Pressing on­ward ev­ery day

Toward the heav­en­ly places;

Growing ev­ery day in awe

For Thy name is ho­ly;

Learning ev­ery day to love

With a love more low­ly;

Walking ev­ery day more close

To our el­der bro­ther;

Growing ev­ery day more true

Unto one ano­ther;

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 en­ter in at last

To the ho­ly ci­ty.
