For Today.

Lord let me live today
From start to close
In just the kindly way
Which friendship knows
Let me be thoughtful too,
And generous here,
Keeping in all I do
My record clear.

Lord let me live today
Full to my best
No hurtful thing I'd say,
Even in jest
Keep one from scorn & hate
And petty spite,
Lord let my soul be great
From dawn to night.

Lord let me live today
From malice free
Let me in work or play
Unselfish be.
