Just For Today - 1926

James Pitt-Payne, London and Ian Cousins, Opera Australia - 28 Jan 2002

Lord, for tomorrow and its needs,
I do not pray,
Keep me my God, from stain of sin,
Just for today.
Let me both diligently work,
And duly pray,
Let me be kind in word and deed,
Just for today.
Let me be slow to do my will,
Prompt to obey,
Oh, keep me in Thy loving care,
Just for today.
Let me no wrong or idle word,
Unthinking say.
Set Thou a seal upon my lips,
Just for today.
Let me in season Lord, Be grave,
in season gay,
Let me be faithful to Thy grace,
And if today my tide of life should ebb away,
Give me, sweet Lord,
Thy sacraments divine,
So, for tomorrow and its needs,
I do not pray,
But keep me, guide and love me, Lord,
Just for today.
