Lord, for to­mor­row and its needs I do not pray;
Keep me, my God, from stain of sin just for to­day.
Help me to la­bor earn­est­ly and du­ly pray;
Let me be kind in word and deed, Fa­ther, 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 to­day and its needs I do not pray;
Still keep me, guide me, love me, Lord, through each day.
