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. Topics: God in Society Work and Leisure; Leisure; Pleasure; Stress; Labor; Leisure; Pleasure; Stress; Worship Scripture: Mark 6:31 Languages: English Tune Title: LEISURE TIME
