SELF-ENCOURAGEMENT

REJOICE, O Soul, in the morning
Awaken at last to thine own,
This life was not meant for thy scorning,
Nor sighing, nor making of moan.

This life was not meant for thy scorning
But to teach thee thy weakness, thy might!
Rejoice, O Soul, in the morning
And lift up thy face to the light!
