Lord of All Leisure Time
Author: Bryan Jeffery Leech Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #398 (1990) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Topics: God in Society Work and Leisure 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. Scripture: Mark 6:31 Languages: English Tune Title: LEISURE TIME
Lord of All Leisure Time

Almighty Father of all things that be
Author: Ernest Edward Dugmore (1843-1925) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #497 (2005) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Work and Leisure Lyrics: 1 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.
2 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
redeemed it from its fault and shame to thee.
3 Thine still the changeful beauty of the hills,
the purple valleys flecked with silver rills,
the ocean glistening 'neath the golden rays:
they all are thine, and voiceless speak thy praise.
4 Thou dost the strength to worker's arms impart;
from thee the skilled musician's reasoned art,
the grace of poet's pen or painter's hand
to teach the loveliness of sea and land.
5 Then grant us, Lord, in all things thee to own,
to dwell within the shadow of thy throne,
to speak and work, to think and live, and move,
reflecting thine own nature, which is love:
6 That so, by Christ redeemed from sin and shame,
and hallowed by thy Spirit's cleansing flame,
ourselves, our work, and all our powers may be
a sacrifice acceptable to thee. Scripture: 1 Chronicles 29:14 Languages: English Tune Title: CHILTON FOLIAT
