Lyrics ~ 5 verses
Lord, for tomorrow and its needs
I do not pray;
keep me, my God, from stain of sin
just for today.
Let me both diligently work
and duly pray;
Let me be kind in word and deed,
just for today.
Let me be slow to do my will,
prompt to obey;
help me to sacrifice myself,
just for today.
Let me no wrong or idle word
unthinking say;
set thou a seal upon my lips
just for today.
Lord, for tomorrow and its needs
I do not pray;
but keep me, guide me, love me, Lord,
just for today.
