Author: J. R. M. Hymnal: GA1886a #70 (1886) Tune Title: [Lord, for tomorrow and its needs] First Line: Lord, for tomorrow and its needs Lyrics: 1 Lord, for tomorrow and its needs
I do not pray;
Keep me, my God, from sin
Just for today.
Let me be glad to do Thy will,
Prompt to obey,
Give me Thy helping grace
Just for today.
2 Keep me from wrong in thought or deed,
O Lord, I pray;
Be near me in my need,
Just for today.
When storm-clouds gather darkly round,
And hide my way.
Be Thou, my light, O Lord,
Just for today.
3 And when Thy summons comes to me,
Calling away,
Lend me Thy helping hand
Just for today.
So for tomorrow and its needs
I do not pray;
But keep me, guide me, Lord,
Just for today.
Just for Today
