Rejoice in the Lord ‎#28

28. From Thee All Skill and Science Flow

1 From thee all skill and science flow,
all pity, care, and love,
all calm and courage, faith and hope:
O pour them from above!

2 Impart them, Lord, to each and all,
as each and all shall need,
to rise, like incense, each to thee
in noble thought and deed.

3 And hasten, Lord, that perfect day
when pain and death shall cease,
and thy just rule shall fill the earth
with health and light and peace.

4 When ever blue the sky shall gleam,
and ever green the sod,
and our rude work deface no more
the paradise of God.
