Almighty Father of
all things that be,
Our life, our work,
we consecrate to Thee,
Whose heavens declare
Thy glory from above,
Whose earth below
is witness to Thy love.
For well we know
this weary, soilèd earth
Is yet Thine own
by right of its new birth,
Since that great cross
upreared on Calvary
Redeemed it from its fault
and shame to Thee.
Thine still be changeful
beauty of the hills,
The purple valleys flecked
with silver rills,
The ocean glistening neath
the golden rays;
They all are Thine,
and voiceless speak Thy praise.
Thou dost the strength
to workman’s arm impart;
From Thee the
skilled musician’s mystic art,
The grace of poet’s pen
or painter’s hand,
To teach the loveliness
of sea and land.
Then grant us, Lord,
in all things Thee to own,
To dwell within the shadow
of Thy throne,
To speak and work,
to think, and live, and move,
Reflecting Thine own nature,
which is love:
That so, by Christ redeemed
from sin and shame,
And hallowed by Thy Spirit’s
cleansing flame,
Ourselves, our work,
and all our powers may be
A sacrifice acceptable to Thee.
