The Gospel of Labor

By Henry van Dyke

THIS is the gospel of labor— Sing it, ye bells of the kirk: The Lord of love came down from above To live with the men who work.
This is the rose he planted, Here in the thorn-curst soil; Heaven is blest with perfect rest, But the blessing of earth is toil.
— Henry van Dyke.
