Others (Meigs)

Lord

help me live from day to day

In such a self-for­get­ful way

That ev­en when I kneel to pray

My pray­er shall be for—Oth­ers.

Others

Lord

yes oth­ers

Let this my mot­to be

Help me to live for oth­ers

That I may live like Thee.

Help me in all the work I do

To ever be sin­cere and true

And know that all I’d 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 Heav’n’s be­gun

May I for­get the crown I’ve won

While think­ing still of—Oth­ers.
