FOOD FOR YOUR JOURNEY

13 December

HELP ME

Lord let me live from day to day

In such a self-forgetful way,

That even when I kneel to pray

My prayer will be for others.

Help me in all the work I do

To ever 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, and all in vain

May efforts be to rise again,

Unless to live for others.

And when my work on earth is done

And my new work in Heaven begun,

May I forget the crown I’ve won

While thinking still of others.

Others, Lord, yes, others,

Let this my motto be;

Help me to live for others

That I may live like Thee.
