Vain were all our toil and labor

Henry Francis Lyte • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 127

Verse 1

Vain were all our toil and labor, Did not God that labor bless; Vain, without his grace and favor, Every talent we possess.

Verse 2

Vainer still the hope of heaven, That on human strength relies; But to him shall help be given Who in humble faith applies.

Verse 3

Seek we, then, the Lord's Anointed; He shall grant us peace and rest: Ne'er was suppliant disappointed, Who through Christ his prayer addressed.
