Labour itself is but a sorrowful song,
The protest of the weak against the strong.

Hymns (1871)

Labor is sweet, for Thou hast toiled,
And care is light, for Thou hast cared;
Let not our works with self be soiled,
Nor in unsimple ways ensnared.
Through life's long day and death's dark night,
O gentle Jesus! be our light.

Hymns (1871)
