ETERNAL Craftsman, Lord of life,
Unflinching Love!
Command us in the daily strife,
That we may prove
How, by Thy grace,
Fears hide their face
And mountains move.

Let hearts and hands in Thee be one
Yet manifold,
And countless loving deeds be done,
Unseen, untold,
Till fiends withstood
Grow angels good
By Thee controlled!

With toil of love, by love inspired,
In love fulfilled,
Though never loitering, never tired,—
With rapture thrilled
By labour sweet
In Thee complete,
Love, bless our Guild!
