For Today

1 Lord, let me live today,
From start to close,
In just the kindly way
Which friendship knows;
Let me be tho’tful too,
And gen’rous here,
Keeping in all I do,
My record clear.

2 Lord, let me live today,
Full to my best;
No hurtful thing I’d say,
Not e’en in jest;
Keep me from evil hate,
And petty spite;
Lord, let my soul be great
From dawn till night.

3 Lord, let me live today,
A friend to all
Who chance along my way,
Tho’ great or small;
Then, when at last the sun,
Now high, shall set,
May there in all I’ve done
Be no regret.
Amen.
