  1. Lord, for tomorrow and its needs
    I do not pray;
    Keep me, O God, from stain of sin,
    Just for today.
    Just for today
    Keep me, O 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.
    Just for today
    Let me be kind in word and deed,
    Just for today
  3. Let me no wrong or idle word
    Unthinking say;
    Set thou a seal upon my lips,
    Just for today.
    Just for today
    Set thou a seal upon my lips,
    Just for today.
  4. So, for tomorrow and its needs
    I do not pray;
    But Keep me, guide me, love me Lord,!
    Just for today.
    Just for today.
    But Keep me, guide me, love me Lord,!
    Just for today.Amen.
