Songs

Lord, for tomorrow and its needs
I do not pray;
Keep me, my God, from stain of sin,
Just for today;
Let me no wrong and idle word
Unthinking say;
Set thou a seal upon my lips,
Just for today.

Let me both diligently work
And duly pray;
Let me be kind in word and deed,
Just for today;
Let me in season, Lord, be grave,
In season gay;
Let me be faithful to thy grace,
Just for today.

In pain and sorrow's cleansing fires,
Brief be my stay;
Oh, bid me, if today I die,
Come home today;
So for tomorrow and its needs
I do not pray,
But keep me, guide me, love me, Lord;
Just for today.

The moon burns soft behind the hill;
Sleep, little rosebud, sleep.
I hear the plaintive whippoorwill;
Sleep, little rosebud, sleep.
Its throat is mellow with a lay
I never heard before today.
I wonder what grieves its heart away.
The night winds rustle on the hill;
Sleep, little rosebud, sleep.

The stars are shining for the morn;
Sleep, little rosebud, sleep.
The night another morn has born;
Sleep, little rosebud, sleep.
The stars gleam on another grave,
The dews another tombstone lave.
Where larkspur bloomed but yesterday
The night hangs pressing on the morn;
Sleep, little rosebud, sleep.

The winds have sobbed the stars to rest;
Sleep, little rosebud, sleep.
The whippoorwill sleeps within its nest;
Sleep, little rosebud, sleep.
Two little teeth begin to show.
Two little eyes give back the glow
That beamed on me one year ago.
Baby's sobs would break her rest;
Sleep, little rosebud, sleep.

I walk alone with God,
Where ere the path may lie.
Friends pass away,
Joy may not stay,
I walk alone with God.
Sinful I fall,
God knoweth all,
I walk alone with God.

I walk alone with God,
Trust in His grace and power.
He plans my part,
Strengthens my heart,
I walk alone with God.
Failure may blight,
God maketh right,
I walk alone with God.

I die alone with God.
Dense are the mists of death,
Earth shadows roll
Far from my soul,
I die alone with God.
Light shineth clear,
Heav'n draweth near,
I die alone with God.
