Sacred Songs No. 2 ‎#1

1. Just for To-Day

1 Lord, for tomorrow and its needs
I do not pray;
Keep me from stain of sin and wrong
Just for today.
Just for today, Just for today,
Keep me from stain of sin and wrong
Just for today.

2 Let me both diligently work
And duly pray;
Let me be kind in word and deed,
Just for today.
Just for today, Just for today,
Let me be kind in word and deed,
Just for today.

3 Let me be swift to do Thy will,
Prompt to obey;
Help me to sacrifice myself,
Just for today.
Just for today, Just for today,
Help me to sacrifice myself,
Just for today.

4 Let me no wrong or idle word
Unthinking say;
Set thou a seal upon my lips,
Just for today.
Just for today, Just for today,
Set thou a seal upon my lips,
Just for today.

5 So, for tomorrow and its needs
I do not pray;
But keep me, guide me, hold me, Lord,
Just for today.
Just for today, Just for today,
But keep me, guide me, love me, Lord,
Just for today.
