Author: J. B. Coats Hymnal: Melodies of Love #165 First Line: We never know at the dawn of day Refrain First Line: Tomorrow may mean goodbye Lyrics: 1 We never know at the dawn of day, Greeting the rising sun, Whether the reaper shall call away, Ere that days work is done. Refrain: Tomorrow may be good-by, We never know when nor why, God calls us away, when life seems so gay, Our bodies in dust to lie; Tomorrow our souls may sign, For beauties we've let slip by, O soul then prepare, sweet heaven to share, Tomorrow may mean good-by. 2 We live each day on this earthly life, As tho it ne'er would end Forgetting God in our daily strife, Grieving this precious friend. [Refrain] 3 God guides our footsteps each passing day, Burdens He will relieve, Promising freely sufficient grace, If only we believe.
