Lord, for
tomorrow and
its needs I
do not pray;
Keep me, my
God, from
stain of sin
just for
today.
Help me to
labor
earnestly
and duly
pray;
Let me be
kind in word
and deed,
Father,
today.
Let
me no wrong
or idle word
unthinking
say;
Set Thou a
seal upon my
lips through
all today.
Let me in
season,
Lord, be
grave, in
season gay;
Let me be
faithful to
Thy grace,
dear Lord,
today.
And if,
today, this
life of mine
should ebb
away,
Give me Thy
sacrament
divine,
Father,
today.
So for
tomorrow and
its needs I
do not pray;
Still keep
me, guide
me, love me,
Lord,
through each
day.
