OTHERS, by                    
First Line: Lord, help me live from day to day
Last Line: That I may live like thee.
Subject(s): Religion; Service; Theology


Lord, help me live from day to day
In such a self-forgetful way
Than even when I kneel to pray
My prayers will be for OTHERS.

Help me in all the work I do
To ever be sincere and true
And know that all I do for YOU Must needs be done for OTHERS.

Let Self be crucified and slain
And buried deep, and all in vain
May efforts be to rise again
Unless to live for OTHERS.

And when my work on earth is done
And my new work in heaven begun
May I forget the crown I've won
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.
