1.⁠Lord, for tomorrow and its needs
I do not pray;
Keep me, O God, from stain of sin,
Just for today.
Just for today
Keep me, O God, from stain of sin,
Just for today
2.⁠Let me both diligently work
And duly pray;
Let me be kind in word and deed,
Just for today.
Just for today
Let me be kind in word and deed,
Just for today
3.⁠Let me no wrong or idle word
Unthinking say;
Set thou a seal upon my lips,
Just for today.
Just for today
Set thou a seal upon my lips,
Just for today.
4.⁠So, for tomorrow and its needs
I do not pray;
But Keep me, guide me, love me Lord,!
Just for today.
Just for today.
But Keep me, guide me, love me Lord,!
Just for today.Amen.
