The Hymnal for Boys and Girls ‎#51

51. O Master Workman of the Race

1 O Master workman of the race,
Thou Man of Galilee,
Who with the eyes of early youth
Eternal things did see;
We thank thee for thy boyhood faith
That shone thy whole life through;
"Did ye not know it is my work
My Father's work to do."

2 O Carpenter of Nazareth,
Builder of life divine,
Who shapest us to God's own law,
Thyself the fair design,
Build us a tower of Christ-like height,
That we thy land may view,
And see like thee our noblest work
Our Father's work to do.

3 O thou who dost the vision send
And gives to each his task,
And with the task sufficient strength,
Show us thy will, we ask;
Give us a conscience bold and good,
Give us a purpose true,
That it may be our highest joy
Our Father's work to do.

Amen.
