Since it’s composition as a poem by Carl Boberg in Sweden more than a century ago this beloved hymn has passed through several renditions, translations and editors. Our most popular English version was translated and added to by Stuart Hine in 1949. This single song is likely sung by more churches around the world in more languages than any other hymn. Have a blessed Lord’s day1

Always Pray
Always Pray and Never Faint
When our eyes first open and the sun peeks i
n
We can thank the Lord as our day begins
Or when storms close in with darkening skies
And we run for shelter to our dear Lord’s side
When the corn is ripe or when the fields look dead
We can still thank God for our daily bread
When we’ve sinned and feel the guilt and shame
He forgives us if we ask in His holy name
When we’ve run the race as far as we can
He renews our strength when we pray to Him
In every day and through every night
In every victory and through every fight
When we stand up strong or when we fall down
If we’ll pray to the end He has promised a crown
It’s not by our wisdom that this battle’s won
Not by our own strength that the race can be run
He gives when we ask He that seeks surely finds
When we pray and don’t faint to the end of the line!
And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint Luke 18:1
This is the day the Lord has made
This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it Psalm 118:24
We may not always remember what day of the week, what month of the year or even what year it is while we are filling out our check in the grocery store. But whether we remember the date, today will always be the Lord’s day. We can long for the past or wish for the future but in quiet rejoicing there is rest. 
When we are struggling some people tell us that “Today is the first day of the rest of your life.” in an effort to encourage us to go on. But another reality is that yesterday was the last day of the past of your life. That past victory or defeat now sits far beyond our control but our today belongs to Jesus Christ. Yielding moment by moment to Jesus will allow us to experience a joy that comes only at His side!
For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel,
“In returning and rest you shall be saved;
in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.”
But you were unwilling Isaiah 30:14
