Lord of all hopefulness, Lord of all joy
Whose trust, ever child-like,
no cares could destroy,
Be there at our waking, and give us, we pray,
Your bliss in our hearts, Lord,
at the break of the day.
Lord of all eagerness, Lord of all faith
whose strong hands
were skilled at the plane and the lathe,
Be there at our labours, and give us, we pray,
Your strength in out hearts Lord,
at the noon of the day.
Lord of all kindliness, Lord of all grace,
Your hands swift to welcome
your arms to embrace,
Be there at our homing, and give us, we pray,
Your love in our hearts, Lord,
at the eve of the day.
