The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook ‎#4

4. Lord, for tomorrow and its needs

1 Lord, for tomorrow and its needs
I do not pray.
Keep me, my God, from stain of sin
just for today.

2 Let me both diligently work
and duly pray.
Let me be kind in word and deed
just for today.

3 Let me no wrong or idle word
unthinking say;
but set a seal upon my lips
just for today.

4 And if today my tide of life
should ebb away,
give me the grace of peace divine,
dear Lord, today.

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