1. Today, while the sun shines, work with a will;
Today all your duties with patience fulfil;
Today, while the birds sing, harbor no care,
Call life a good gift, call the world fair.
Today, today, work with a will;
Today, today, your duties fulfil;
Today, today, work while you may.
There is no tomorrow, but only today.
2. Today seek the treasure better than gold;
The peace and the joy that are found in the fold;
Today, seek the gems that shine in the heart.
While here we labor, choose the good part.
Today, today, work with a will;
Today, today, your duties fulfil;
Today, today, work while you may.
There is no tomorrow, but only today.
3. Today seek for goodness, virtue, and truth,
As crown of your life and the grace of your youth;
Today, while the heart beats, live to be true,
Constant and faithful all the way through.
Today, today, work with a will;
Today, today, your duties fulfil;
Today, today, work while you may.
There is no tomorrow, but only today.
