Who was first to strike a spark? No one knows. What excitement as they cried: How it glows! How the light defeats the dark! Who was first to sow the seed? No one knows. What excitement as they cried: How it grows! Food enough to meet our need! Who was first to shape a wheel? No one knows. What excitement as they cried: Look! it goes! Now we'll travel where we will! Praise the Lord for every skill He bestows; May the things that we invent, Lord, be those We shall use to help and heal.
