 And when  my  trembling  spirit  shall  stand At the  dreaded  judgment  seat, O Lord,  wilt  Thou  let  me  bend  to  kiss The wounds  of  Thy  sacred  feet?

— Leaflets.

ord, for  to-morrow  and  its  needs I do  not  pray; Keep me,  my  God,  from  stain  of  sin Just for  to-day.

Let me  both  diligently  work And duly  pray; Let me  be  kind  in  word  and  deed Just for  to-day.

Let me  be  slow  to  do  my  will, Prompt to  obey; Help me  to  mortify  my  flesh Just for  to-day.

Let me  no  wrong  or  idle  word, Unthinking, say; Set Thou  a  seal  upon  my  lips Just for  to-day.

Let me  in  season. Lord, be  grave. In season  gay; Let me  be  faithful  to  Thy  grace Just for  to-day.

And if  to-day  my  tide  of  life Should ebb  away, Give me  Thy  sacraments  divine. Dear Lord,  to-day.

In Purgatory's  cleansing  fires Brief be  my  stay; Oh, bid  me,  if  to-day  I  die. Go home  to-day.
