Labor Day

We sang "Come Labor On" at church this weekend. One of my favorite old hymns. We usually sing it on Labor Day weekend. No, it wasn't written for the Labor movement.

The hymn was written by Jane Laurie Borthwick (1813-1897) based on Matthew 25:23. Ms. Borthwick wrote the hymn in 1859, revised it in 1863.
