Just for today

Lord, for tomorrow and its needs

I do not pray;

Keep me, my God, from stain of sin,

Just for today;

Let me no wrong and idle word

Unthinking say;

Set thou a seal upon my lips,

Just for today.

Let me both diligently work

And duly pray;

Let me be kind in word and deed,

Just for today;

Let me in season, Lord, be grave,

In season gay;

Let me be faithful to thy grace,

Just for today.

In pain and sorrow's cleansing fires,

Brief be my stay;

Oh, bid me, if today I die,

Come home today;

So for tomorrow and its needs

I do not pray,

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

Just for today.
