| Just for To-day |
| | | Samuel Wilberforce (1805–73) |
| |
| |
| LORD, for to-morrow and its needs | |
| I do not pray; | |
| Keep me from any stain of sin | |
| Just for to-day: | |
| Let me both diligently work | 5 |
| And duly pray; | |
| Let me be kind in word and deed | |
| Just for to-day, | |
| Let me be slow to do my will— | |
| Prompt to obey: | 10 |
| Help me to sacrifice myself | |
| Just for to-day. | |
| Let me no wrong or idle word | |
| Unthinking say— | |
| Set thou thy seal upon my lips, | 15 |
| Just for to-day. | |
| So for to-morrow and its needs | |
| I do not pray, | |
| But keep me, guide me, hold me, Lord, | |
| Just for to-day. | 20 |
