Teach us to balance work with play that we may live unstressed. 3 Lord of all leisure time, be Lord of all we do. May tasteless and unholy things not lure our hearts from you. O give us sense to choose delights that lead to joy, for you have clearly marked as sin all pleasures that destroy. 4 Lord of all leisure time, of all that's true and good, who formed the best within your world that we may be renewed; help us to draw from you, as from a parent's hand, a new supply of freshening grace for this the day you've planned.

[6 Long may the King, our Sov'reign, live, To rule us by thy Word, And all the Honours he can give, Be offer'd to the Lord.]
