|
<p>Behold us, Lord, a little space<br>
|
|
From daily tasks set free,<br>
|
|
And met within Thy holy place<br>
|
|
To rest awhile with Thee.</p>
|
|
<p>Around us rolls the ceaseless tide<br>
|
|
Of business, toil, and care;<br>
|
|
And scarcely can we turn aside<br>
|
|
For one brief hour of prayer.</p>
|
|
<p>Yet these are not the only walls<br>
|
|
Wherein Thou may’st be sought:<br>
|
|
On homeliest work Thy blessing falls<br>
|
|
In truth and patience wrought.</p>
|
|
<p>Thine is the loom, the forge, the mart,<br>
|
|
The wealth of land and sea,<br>
|
|
The worlds of science and of art,<br>
|
|
Revealed and ruled by Thee.</p>
|
|
<p>Then let us prove our heavenly birth<br>
|
|
In all we do and know;<br>
|
|
And claim the kingdom of the earth,<br>
|
|
For Thee, and not Thy foe.</p>
|
|
<p>Work shall be prayer, if all be wrought<br>
|
|
As Thou would have it done;<br>
|
|
And prayer, by Thee inspired and taught,<br>
|
|
Itself with work be one.</p>
