307. Lord, For To-morrow And Its Needs

1 Lord, for to-morrow and its needs
I do not pray;
Keep me, my God, from stain of sin,
Just for to-day.
Help me to labor earnestly,
And daily pray;
Let me be kind in word and deed,
Father, to-day.

2 Let me no wrong or idle word
Unthinking say;
Set Thou a seal upon my lips
Through all to-day.
Let me in season, Lord, be grave,
In season gay:
Let me be faithful to Thy grace,
Dear Lord, to-day.

3 And if to-day this life of mine,
Should ebb away,
Give me Thy Sacrament Divine,
Father, to-day.
So for to-morrow and its needs
I do not pray:
Still keep me, guide me, love me, Lord,
Through each to-day.
