Lyrics:

Today is mine, tomorrow may not come
I may not see the rising of the sun
When evening falls my work may all be done
Today is mine, tomorrow may not come
Today is mine to sing a joyful song
Its notes may cheer some wanderer in the throng
His steps may falter while my own are strong
Today is mine to sing a joyful song
Yes, today is mine, tomorrow may not come
I may not see the rising of the sun
When evening falls my work may all be done
Yes, today is mine, tomorrow may not come
Today is mine, tomorrow may not come
My race of life may end at set of sun
Shall I then hear the Master say, well done
Today is mine, tomorrow may not come
