O Son of Man,
Thou madest
known,
Through quiet
work in shop
and home,
The
sacredness of
common
things,
The chance of
life that
each day
brings.
O
Workman true,
may we
fulfill
In daily life
Thy Father’s
will;
In duty’s
call, Thy
call we hear
To fuller
life, through
work sincere.
Thou
Master
Workman,
grant us
grace
The challenge
of our tasks
to face;
By loyal
scorn of
second best,
By effort
true, to meet
each test.
And thus
we pray in
deed and
word,
Thy kingdom
come on
earth, O
Lord;
In work that
gives effect
to prayer,
Thy purpose
for Thy world
we share.
