All Labor Gained New Dignity
Author: John Oxenham, 1852-1941 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #448 (1957) Lyrics: 1 All labor gained new dignity
Since He who all creation made
Toiled with His hands for daily bread
Right manfully.
2 No work is commonplace, if all
Be done as unto Him alone;
Life's simplest toil to Him is known,
Who knoweth all.
3 Each smallest common thing He makes
Serves Him with its minutest part;
Man only, with his wand'ring heart,
His way forsakes.
4 His service is life's highest joy,
It yields fair fruit a hundredfold,
Be this our prayer--"Not fame, nor gold,
But Thine employ!"

John Bacchus Dykes
1823 - 1876 Person Name: John B. Dykes, 1823-1876 Composer of "ALMSGIVING" in Worship and Service Hymnal As a young child John Bacchus Dykes (b. Kingston-upon-Hull' England, 1823; d. Ticehurst, Sussex, England, 1876) took violin and piano lessons. At the age of ten he became the organist of St. John's in Hull, where his grandfather was vicar. After receiving a classics degree from St. Catherine College, Cambridge, England, he was ordained in the Church of England in 1847. In 1849 he became the precentor and choir director at Durham Cathedral, where he introduced reforms in the choir by insisting on consistent attendance, increasing rehearsals, and initiating music festivals. He served the parish of St. Oswald in Durham from 1862 until the year of his death. To the chagrin of his bishop, Dykes favored the high church practices associated with the Oxford Movement (choir robes, incense, and the like). A number of his three hundred hymn tunes are still respected as durable examples of Victorian hymnody. Most of his tunes were first published in Chope's Congregational Hymn and Tune Book (1857) and in early editions of the famous British hymnal, Hymns Ancient and Modern.
