Lord, help me live from day to day,
In such a self-forgetful way,
That even when 1 kneel to pray,
My prayer shall be for others.
Help me in all the work I do,
To even be sincere and true,
And know that all I’d do for you,
Must needs be done for others.
Let “Self” be crucified and slain,
And buried deep: and all in vain
May efforts be to rise again,
Unless to Jive for others.
And when my work on eartli is done
And my new work in Heaven’s begun
May I forget tlie crown I’ve won
While thinking stiil of others.
Olliers, Lord, yes, others,
Let tills my motto be,
Help me to live for others,
That I may live for Thee.
