Others
Lord, help me to 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'd do for You
Must be done for others.
Let me be crucified and slain
And buried deep; and all in vain
My efforts be to rise again
Unless to live again for others.
And when my work on earth is done,
And my new work in heaven's begun
May I forget the crown I've worn
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.
