Author: Mary Butler Hymnal: The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 #274 (1972) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D First Line: Looking upward every day Lyrics: 1 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;
2 Walking every day more close
To our Elder Brother;
Growing every day more true
Unto one another;
Every day more gratefully
Kindnesses receiving;
Every day more readily
Injuries forgiving;
3 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.
Amen. Topics: Book One: Hymns, Songs, Chorales; Christian Life Holiness, Sanctification Scripture: 2 Corinthians 7:1 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. KEVIN
