Gospel - In Our Work and in Our Play текст песни

In our work and in our play,
Jesus, be thou ever near,
Guarding, guiding, all the day,
Keeping in thy holy fear.

Thou didst toil, O royal Child,
In the far-off Holy Land,
Blessing labour undefiled,
Pure and honest, of the hand.

Thou wilt bless our play-hour too,
If we ask thy succour strong;
Watch o'er all we say and do,
Hold us back from guilt and wrong.

O, how happy thus to spend
Work and play-time in his sight,
Till the rest which shall not end,
Till the day which knows not night!
