Text:	Why Should I Ask The Future Load?
Author:	Charles Wesley
Tune:	ADORO TE
Composer:	Joseph Barnby
Media:	MIDI file

Why should I ask the future load
To aggravate my present care?
Strong in the grace today bestowed,
The evil of today I bear;
And if tomorrow’s care I see,
Fresh grace shall still suffice for me.
