O Master Workman of the Race
Author: Jay T. Stocking Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 108 hymnals Scripture: Mark 6:1-3 Lyrics: 1 O Master workman of the race,
Thou Man of Galilee,
Who with the eyes of early youth
Eternal things didst 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 man to God's own law,
Thyself the fair design,
Build us a tower of Christ-like height
That we the 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 givest 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. Used With Tune: BETHLEHEM

O God, in a Mysterious Way
Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,130 hymnals Scripture: Mark 6:1-13 Lyrics: 1 O God, in a mysterious way
great wonders you perform.
You plant your footsteps in the sea
and ride upon the storm.
2 Deep in unfathomable mines
of never-failing skill,
you treasure up your bright designs
and work your sovereign will.
3 O fearful saints, fresh courage take.
The clouds you so much dread
are big with mercy and shall break
in blessings on your head.
4 Our unbelief is sure to err
and scan your work in vain.
You are your own interpreter,
and you will make it plain.

O God, in a Mysterious Way
O Christ, the Healer
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 37 hymnals Scripture: Mark 6:1-13 First Line: O Christ, the healer, we have come Lyrics: 1 O Christ, the healer, we have come
to pray for health, to plead for friends.
How can we fail to be restored
when reached by love that never ends?
2 From every ailment flesh endures
our bodies clamor to be freed;
yet in our hearts we would confess
that wholeness is our deepest need.
3 How strong, O Lord, are our desires,
how weak our knowledge of ourselves!
Release in us those healing truths
unconscious pride resists or shelves.
4 In conflicts that destroy our health
we recognize the world’s disease;
our common life declares our ills.
Is there no cure, O Christ, for these?
5 Grant that we all, made one in faith,
in your community may find
the wholeness that, enriching us,
shall reach the whole of humankind.

O God, Our Creator, You Work Every Day
Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Mark 6:3 Lyrics: O God, our Creator, you work every day:
A potter, you form us, your people, like clay.
A shepherd, you guide us and seek out the lost.
A parent, you love us, not counting the cost.
Christ Jesus, how rough were your hard-working hands!
You labored among us; our God understands!
Bless workers who struggle, their families to feed;
Bless those who face hardship, oppression, or greed.
Lord, some live among us who need constant care,
Whose work is to make us more humbly aware.
They teach us the best of your lessons, by far:
It’s not what we do, Lord, you love who we are!
We’re baptized! Your Spirit gives new work to do,
That we, through our serving, may glorify you.
Each person’s vocation, each calling, has worth
As you send us out to bring Christ’s love on earth.
