In all my works Thy presence find,
And prove Thy good and perfect will.

Thee may I set at my right hand,

Whose eyes my inmost substance see;
And labour on at Thy command,

And offer all my works to Thee.

4 Give me to bear Thy easy yoke,
And every moment watch and pray;
And still to things eternal look,
And hasten to Thy glorious Day.

5 Fain would I still for Thee employ

Whate'er Thy bounteous grace hath given,

Would run my course with even joy,

And closely walk with Thee to heaven. Amen.

2 Each field is then a hallowed spot,
An altar is in each man's cot,

A church in every grove that spreads
Its living roof above our heads.

3 Look up to heaven, the industrious sun
Already half his race hath run:
He cannot halt or go astray,
But our immortal spirits may.

4 Lord, since his rising in the east,

If we have faltered or transgressed,
Guide, from Thy love's abundant source,
What yet remains of this day's course;

5 Help with Thy grace, through life's short day,
Our upward and our downward way;

And glorify for us the west,

When we shall sink to final rest. Amen.

1 Be-hold us, Lord, a

And met with-in Thy holy place To rest awhile with Thee. A-men.

2 Around us rolls the ceaseless tide
Of business, toil, and care;
And scarcely can we turn aside
For one brief hour of prayer.

3 Yet these are not the only walls

Wherein Thou mayst be sought;
On homeliest work Thy blessing falls,
In truth and patience wrought.

4 Thine is the loom, the forge, the mart,
The wealth of land and sea,
The worlds of science and of art,
Revealed and ruled by Thee.

5 Then let us prove our heavenly birth,
In all we do and know;

And claim the kingdom of the earth
For Thee and not Thy foe.

6 Work shall be prayer, if all be wrought
As Thou wouldst have it done,

And prayer, by Thee inspired and taught,
Itself with work be one. Amen.

2 To Thee our morning song of praise,
To Thee our evening prayer we raise;
O grant us with Thy saints on high
To praise Thee through eternity.

3 All laud to God the Father be;
All praise, eternal Son, to Thee;
All glory, as is ever meet,
To God the holy Paraclete. Amen.
