With rays of beauty shine; Oh, let Thy favor crown our days, And their whole course be Thine. 2 Did we not raise our hands to Thee, Our hands might toil in vain: Small joy success itself could give, If Thou Thy love restrain. 3 'Tis ours the furrows to prepare, And sow the precious grain: 'Tis Thine to give the sun and air, And to command the rain. 4 With Thee let every week begin, With Thee each day be spent, For Thee each fleeting hour improved, Since each by Thee is lent. 5 Thus cheer us through this toilsome road Till all our labors cease; And heaven refresh our weary souls With everlasting peace.
