Methodist-Hymns-872
1: WE bless thee oh Lord, for all this common life
Can give to rest and joy admist its strife;
For earth and trees and seas and clouds and springs;
For work and all the lessons that it brings.
2: For Pisgah gleams of newer, fairer truth,
Which ever ripening still renews our youth;
For fellowship with noble souls and wise,
Whose hearts beat time to music of the skies;
3: For each achievement human toil can reach;
For all the patriots win, and poets teach;
For the old light that gleams on history’s page
For the new hope that shines on each new age.
4: May we to these our lights be ever true,
Find hope and strength and joy forever new,
To heavenly visions still obedient prove,
The Eternal law writ by the Almighty love!
Amen.
