¶Lyrics / Text

1 Behold us, Lord a little space From daily tasks set free, And met within Thy holy place To rest awhile with Thee. 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.
