Day after day

Day after day, O lord of my life,

shall I stand before thee face to face?

With folded hands, O lord of all worlds,

shall I stand before thee face to face?

Under thy great sky in solitude and silence,

with humble heart

shall I stand before thee face to face?

In this laborious world of thine,

tumultuous with toil and with struggle,

among hurrying crowds

shall I stand before thee face to face?

And when my work shall be done in this world,

O King of kings,

alone and speechless shall I stand before thee

face to face?
