My Song Of Today

Oh! how I love Thee, Jesus! my soul aspires to Thee – And yet for one day only this simple prayer I pray! Come reign within my heart, smile tenderly on me, Today, dear Lord, today. Today, dear Lord, today. What care I for tomorrow? Whatever it may bring; Let not your love forsake me, and worries have their way, But let my heart stay pure, enfold me in your wings Today, dear Lord, today. Today, dear Lord, today. O sweetest Star of heaven! O Virgin, spotless, blest, Shining the light of Jesus, guiding Him my way! O Mother! 'neath thy veil let my tired spirit rest, For this brief passing day! For this brief passing day! Soon shall I fly away, to praise you my desire Then shall be mine the joy that never knows decay; And then my lips shall sing, with heavn's angelic choirs, Th'eternal, glad today! Th'eternal, glad today!
