| Lord, for tomorrow and its needs I do not pray; Keep me, my God, from stain of sin, Just for today. | | Help me to labour earnestly And duly pray; Let me be kind in word and deed, Father, today. | | Let me be slow to do my will, Prompt to obey; Help me to sacrifice myself Gladly, 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 today. | |
