1 From thee all skill and science flow, all pity, care, and love, all calm and courage, faith and hope: O pour them from above! Impart them, Lord, to each and all, as each and all shall need, to rise, like incense, each to thee, in noble thought and deed.
2 And hasten, Lord, that perfect day when pain and death shall cease, and thy just rule shall fill the earth with health and light and peace; when ever-blue the sky shall gleam, and ever green the sod, and our rude work deface no more the handiwork of God.
