Lord, for tomorrow and its needs

Lord, for to-morrow and its needs

I do not pray;

Keep me, my God, from stain of sin,

Just for to-day.

Let me both diligently work

And duly pray;

Let me be kind in word and deed,

Just for to-day.

Let me be slow to do my will,

Prompt to obey;

Help me to sacrifice myself,

Just for to-day.

Let me no wrong or idle word

Unthinking say;

Set Thou a seal upon my lips,

Just for to-day.

Let me in season, Lord, be grave,

In season gay;

Let me be faithful to Thy grace,

Just for to-day.

Lord, for to-morrow and its needs,

I do not pray;

But keep me, guide me, love me, Lord,

Just for to-day.
