Labor’s Strong and Merry Children

lyricist: Bryan Procter (1787–1874)
Composer: Duncan Hume

Labor’s strong and mer­ry child­ren

Comrades of the ris­ing sun;

Let us sing some songs to­ge­ther

Now our toil is done.

No de­spond­ing

no re­pin­ing

Leisure must by toil be sought;

Never yet was good ac­comp­lished

Without toil or thought.

Even God’s all ho­ly la­bor

Framed the sky

the stars

the sun

Built our earth on deep foun­da­tions

And the world was won.
