My Song Of Today
St. Teresa of Lisieux
Oh! how I love Thee, Jesus! my soul aspires to Thee And yet for one day only my simple prayer I pray!
Come reign within my heart, smile tenderly on me, To-day, dear Lord, to-day.
But if I dare take thought of what the morrow bring That fills my fickle heart with dreary, dull dismay;
I crave, indeed, my God, trials and sufferings, But only for to-day!
O sweetest Star of heaven! O Virgin, spotless, blest, Shining with Jesus' light, guiding to Him my way!
O Mother! 'neath thy veil let my tired spirit rest, For this brief passing day!
Soon shall I fly afar among the holy choirs, Then shall be mine the joy that never knows decay;
And then my lips shall sing, to heaven's angelic lyres, The eternal, glad To-day!
