Author: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, 1807-1882 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #288 (1993) Meter: 7.7.7.7 First Line: All are architects of fate Lyrics: 1 All are architects of fate,
working in these walls of time;
some with massive deeds and great,
some with ornaments of rhyme.
2 For the structure that we raise
time is with materials filled;
our todays and yesterdays
are the blocks with which we build.
3 Build today, then, strong and sure,
with a firm and ample base;
and ascending and secure
shall tomorrow find its place. Topics: Humanist Teachings The Life of Integrity; The Arts; Humankind; The Living Tradition Languages: English Tune Title: WOODLAND
