Time and eternity

Today, my Father, make me live,
That I might freely serve and give;
Of every moment make me aware,
To deeply breathe the morning air;
Let not an hour of time pass by
That I don’t see the powers on high;
Of weeks and years let me yet dream,
Both present and future, help me redeem;
But, more than seconds on the clock,
Of eternal ages may I take stock.
