Lord, for Tomorrow and Its Needs

1Lord, 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.

2Let me be slow to do my will,
Prompt to obey;
Help me to sacrifice myself,
Father, today.
Let me no wrong or idle word Unthinking say;
Set Thou a seal upon my lips Through all today.

3Let me in season,
Lord, be grave,
In season gay;
Let me be faithful to Thy grace,
Father, today.
Lord, for tomorrow and its needs I do not pray:
Still keep me, guide me, love me,
Lord,
Through each today.
