1. 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 or idle word unthinking say;
    Set Thou a seal upon my lips, Father, today.
  2. Let me both diligently work, and duly pray;
    Let me be kind in word and deed, Father, today.
    Let me in season, Lord, go forth, in season stay;
    Let me be faithful to Thy grace, dear Lord, today.
  3. Let me be slow to do my will, swift to obey;
    Help me to sacrifice myself gladly today.
    So for tomorrow and its needs I do not pray;
    Still keep me, guide me, love me, Lord, through each today.
