Lord, for tomorrow and its needs

Samuel Wilberforce • English

Primary Scripture: Exodus 32:29

Verse 1

Lord for tomorrow and its needs I do not pray; Keep me, my God, from stain of sin Just for today. Help me to labor earnestly, And duly pray; Let me be kind in word and deed, Father today.

Verse 2

Let me be slow to do my will, Prompt to obey; Help me to sacrifice myself, Father, today. Let me no wrong or idle word Unthinking say; Set Thou a seal up on my lips Through all today.

Verse 3

Let me in season, Lord, be grave, In season gay; Let me be faithful to Thy grace, Father, today. Lord, for tomorrow and its needs I do not pray; Still keep me, guide me, love me, Lord, Through each today. Amen.
