We meet within this holy place and find security. 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 this is not the only place your presence may be found; On daily work you shed your grace, and blessings all around. 4 Yours are the workplace, home, and mart, the wealth of sea and land; The worlds of science and of art are fashioned by your hand. 5 Work shall be prayer, if all be wrought as you would have it done; And prayer, by you inspired and taught, shall then with work be one.
