Others

Lord, help me live from day to day
In such a self-forgetful way
That even when I kneel to pray
My prayer shall be for? Others.
Others, Lord, yes others,
Let this my motto be,
Help me to live for others,
That I may live like Thee.
Help me in all the work I do To ever 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 live for? Others.
And when my work on earth is done,
And my new work in Heav’n’s begun,
May I forget the crown I’ve won,
While thinking still of? Others.
