Author: M. Xavier Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #532 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Lord, for tomorrow and its needs
I do not pray:
Keep me, my God, from stain of sin,
Just for to-day.
2 Help me to labour earnestly
And duly pray;
Let me be kind in word and deed,
Father, to-day.
3 Let me be slow to do my will,
Prompt to obey;
Help me to sacrifice myself
Gladly, to-day.
4 Let me no wrong or idle word
Unthinking say;
Set Thou a seal upon my lips
Through all to-day.
5 Let me in season, Lord, be grave,
In season gay:
Let me be faithful to Thy grace,
Dear Lord, to-day.
6 And if to-day this life of mine
Should ebb away,
Give me Thy Sacrament divine,
Father, to-day.
7 So for tomorrow and its needs
I do not pray:
Still keep me, guide me, love me, Lord,
Through each to-day. Topics: General Home and Personal Use Languages: English Tune Title: BELLEVILLE
