Author: Elinor Lennen Hymnal: Worship in Song #274 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Within the shelter of our walls,
Be present, Lord, to guide.
Where work is planned, where pleasure calls,
Where hearts keep holy festivals,
Find welcome, and abide.
2 Transform our spirits as we learn
Thy loving discipline.
When tasks are hard or duty stern,
Give us the wisdom to discern
Thy comradeship within.
3 Make daily bread a sacrament
Which thou, O Lord, might share.
Give conversation high intent;
Our daily strength for thee be spent
With thought and loving care. Topics: God within; Home; Integrity; Love; Sacrament; Simplicity Languages: English Tune Title: REST
