Others
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
Others, Lord, yes, others
Let this my motto be
Help me to live for others
That I may live like Thee
And when my work on Earth is done
And my new work in Heaven's 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
(Live for others, that I may live like Thee)
