Hymn from Evening Prayer
Coupled with the thoughts that provoked the piece below, this really spoke to me this evening:
from a hymn by Fred Pratt Green
In the just reward of labor
God's will is done;
In the help we give our neighbor,
God's will is done;
In our world-wide task of caring
For the hungry and despairing,
In the harvests men are sharing,
God's will is done.
I don't know the proper attribution. If anyone does and will leave it for me, I'll correct this post. Thanks.

Dear Steven,
According to my googling, this was written by Fred Pratt Green in 1970:
