Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

All labor gained new dignity 
All labor gained new dignity since he who all creation made toiled with his hands for daily bread right manfully. 
No work is commonplace, be done as unto him alone; life's simplest toil to him is known who knoweth all. 
Each smallest common thing he makes serves him with its minutest part; man only with his wandering heart his way forsakes. 
His service is life's highest joy, it yields fair fruit a hundred fold: be this our prayer: "Not fame, nor gold, but thine employ!" 
, pseudonym of William Arthur Dunkerely (1852-1941), 1920
