Better Boast

"Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth" (Proverbs 27:1).

Boast not yourself of tomorrow, my friend,
You cannot foretell just how it will end.
God owns tomorrow, and all it contains:
Its mixture of sorrow, of joy, and its gains.

Boast in the Lord, for the future is His,
The past we record, and what presently is.
Trust in the Savior, for He holds tomorrow,
The past that we savor, and the present we borrow.
