Lyrics 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 daily pray; Let me be kind in word and deed, Just for today. Let me no wrong or idle word Unthinking say; Set thou a seal upon my lips Just for today. Let me in season, Lord, be grave, In season gay; Let me be faithful to Thy grace, Just for today. And if, today this life of mine Should ebb away, Give me Thy Sacrament Divine, Father, today. So, for tomorrow and its needs I do not pray; Still keep me, guide me, love me, Lord, Thro' each today.
