From thee all skill and science flow by William Horsley — Lyrics
From thee all skill and science flow,
all pity, care, and love,
all calm and courage, faith and hope:
O pour them from above.
And part them, Lord, to each and all,
as each and all shall need,
to rise, like incense, each to thee,
in noble thought and deed.

About From thee all skill and science flow
William Horsley's From thee all skill and science flow is a thoughtful anthem for SATB choir, setting a profound English text. This hymn expresses a prayer for divine guidance and the outpouring of virtues such as skill, science, pity, care, love, calm, courage, faith, and hope. The lyrics implore the Lord to distribute these gifts according to each individual's needs, inspiring noble thoughts and deeds. It also looks forward to a future era of universal peace, where suffering and death are no more, and the earth is renewed as a paradise free from human defacement, under God's just rule. This piece would suit a service focused on divine providence or the hope for a better world.
