Lord, for tomorrow and its needs ("Just for today")
Sister M. Xavier Nicola A. Montani
Slowly
1.
Lord, for tomorrow and its needs I do not pray: Keep me, my G.o.d, from stain of sin, Just for today.
Let me both diligently work, And duly pray: Let me be kind in word or deed, Just for today.
2.
Let me be slow to do my will, Prompt to obey: Help me to mortify my flesh, Just for today.
Let me no wrong or idle word Unthinkingly say; Set Thou a seal upon my lips, Just for today.
3.
Let me in season, Lord, be grave, In season, gay; Let me be faithful to Thy Grace, Just for today.
And if today my tide of life Should ebb away, Give me Thy Sacraments divine, Sweet Lord, today.
4.
In purgatory's cleansing fires Brief be my stay; Oh, bid me, if today I die, Go home today.
So, for tomorrow and its needs, I do not pray; But keep me, guide me, love me, Lord, just for today.

Why art thou sorrowful?
The Remembrance of Mercy Father Faber S. M. Yenn
Moderato
1.
Why art thou sorrowful, servant of G.o.d?
And what is this dulness that hangs o'er thee now?
Sing the praises of Jesus, and sing them aloud, And the song shall dispel the dark cloud from thy brow.
Sing the praises of Jesus, and sing them aloud, And the song shall dispel the dark cloud from thy brow.
2.
Oh, is there a thought in the wide world so sweet, As that G.o.d has so cared for us, bad as we are, That He thinks for us, plans for us, stoops to entreat, And follows us, wander we ever so far?
That He thinks for us, plans for us, stoops to entreat, And follows u, wander we ever so far?
3.
Oh, then, when the spirit of darkness comes down With clouds of uncertainties into thy heart, One look to thy Saviour, one thought of thy crown, And the tempest is over, the shadows depart.
One look to thy Saviour, one thought of thy crown, And the tempest is over, the shadows depart.
4.
That G.o.d hath once whispered a word in thine ear, Or sent thee from Heaven one sorrow for sin, Is enough for a life both to banish all fear, And to turn into peace all the troubles within.
Is enough for a life both to banish all fear, And to turn into peace all the troubles within.
