Lord, help me live from day to day In such a Self forgetful way
That even when I kneel to pray My prayers shall be for Others.
-And when my work on earth is done,. And my new work in heavens begun,
May I forget the crown Pve won, While thinking still of Others.
Help me in all the work I do To ever be sincere and true, And know that all Id do for you Must needs be done for Others.
Others, Lord, yes Others, Let this my motto be,
Help me to bve for Others, That I may live like Thee.
Let "Self" be crucified and slain And buried deep and all in vain
May efforts be to rise again,
Unless to live for Others.
