- 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. - 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. - 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 no...

- All creatures of our God and King,
Lift up your voice and with us sing,
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Thou burning sun with golden beam,
Thou silver moon with softer gleam!- Refrain:
O praise Him! O praise Him!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

Ye clouds that sail in heav’n along,
O praise Him! Alleluia!

Ye lights of evening, find a voice! - Thou flowing water, pure and clear,
Make music for thy Lord to hear,
O praise Him! Alleluia!
Thou fire so mas...

His all-redeeming love, His precious blood to plead:
His blood atoned for all our race,
His blood atoned for all our race,
And sprinkles now the throne of grace. - Five bleeding wounds He bears, received on Calvary;
They pour effectual prayers; they strongly plead fo...

- Show me Thy face—one transient gleam
Of loveliness divine,
And I shall never think or dream
Of other love save Thine;
All lesser light will darken quite,
All lower glories wane,
The beautiful of earth will scarce
Seem beautiful again. - Show me Thy face—my faith and love

And nothing here have pow’r to move

My life shall seem a trance, a dream,
And all I feel and see,
Illusive, visionary—Thou,
The one Reality! - Show me Thy face—I shall forget
The weary da...

- I would not have my life go on,
A level stretch, from sun to sun,
And miss the glorious sights I get,
From Calvary to Olivet. - These rugged paths that wound my feet,
These tribulations that I meet,
Are stepping stones by which I climb
To glories endless and sublime.
