Representative Text

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

2 Thou didst toil, O royal Child,
in the far-off Holy Land,
blessing labour undefiled,
pure and honest, of the hand.

3 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.

4 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!
