Behold Us, Lord, a Little Space (EN 4173)

EN 4173 Behold Us, Lord, a Little Space

John.4.24

Versi Version 1

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 may’st 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 would have it done;

And prayer, by Thee inspired and taught,

Itself with work be one.
