LYRICS
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!
