STRENGTH TO WORKERS ARMS

Almighty Father of all things that be,
Our life, our work, we consecrate to thee,
Whose heavens declare
thy glory from above,
Whose earth below is witness to thy love.


Thou dost the strength
to worker’s arms impart;
From thee the skilled musician’s subtle art;
The grace of poet’s pen or painter’s hand
Portrays the loveliness of sea and land.


For well we know this weary, fallen earth
Is yet thine own by right of its new birth, 
Since that great cross upreared on Calvary
An Easter’s power redeemed it,
Lord, for thee.

Ernest Edward Dugmore  1843 - 1925 ( 81 Years )
