Others
Lord, help me to live from day to day
- In such a self-forgetful way,
That even when I kneel to pray
My prayers shall be for "others. . ."
Help me in the work I do,
Ever to be sincere and true,
And know that all I do for you,
Must needs be done for "others. . ."
Let self be crucified and slain,
And buried deep for all in vain,
It's efforts be to raise again,
unless to live for "others. . ."
And when my work on earth is done,
And my new work in Heaven's begun,
May I forget the crown I've won.
While thinking still for "others."
"Others," Lord, yes, "others,"
Let this my motto be.
Help me to live for "others,"
For then I live for Thee.
