O Son of Man, Thou Madest Known

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.
