GOOD, BETTER, BEST by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS

First Line: LORD OF WORKERS, ENDLESS WISE
Last Line: BE OUR GOAL AND OUR SUCCESS.

Lord of workers, endless wise,
It would be a wondrous prize
If our work so firmly stood
Thou couldst praise and call it good.

Lord of workers, whose design
Finer grows and yet more fine,
All our work with purpose fill,
Help us make it better still.

Lord of workers, pointing far
To ideal's perfect star,
Leave us no ignoble rest,
Lift our better up to best.

Lord of workers, joined with Thee
In endeavor's ecstasy,
Let Thy words that cheer and bless
Be our goal and our success.
