Original text and translations

English text

I.
Lord, for tomorrow and its needs
I do not pray;
Keep me, O 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.
Amen.

II.
Like as a father pitieth his own children,
So the Lord pitieth them that fear Him;
As far as the East is from the West,
So far hath He removed our transgressions from us.
Amen.

III.
O Thou that hearest prayer,
unto Thee shall all flesh come.
Our iniquities,
Thou wilt purge them away;
for there is forgiveness with Thee.
Amen.

IV.
Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of Hosts,
Heav'n and earth are full of thy glory.
Amen.

V.
Be Still and know that I am God.
