Lord of All Leisure Time

Author: Bryan Jeffery Leech Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #398 (1990) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Lord of all leisure time, we set a time apart within the rhythm of each week to cultivate the heart; for you have said, "Be still, and in my presence find the ecstasy of worshiping with soul and strength and mind." 2 Lord of all leisure time, we give this time to you, that we may choose relaxing ways our spirits to renew, for in your providence you order us to rest. 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.
