All Labor Gained New Dignity

Author: John Oxenham, 1852-1941 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #448 (1957) Lyrics: 1 All labor gained new dignity Since He who all creation made Toiled with His hands for daily bread Right manfully. 2 No work is commonplace, if all Be done as unto Him alone; Life's simplest toil to Him is known, Who knoweth all. 3 Each smallest common thing He makes Serves Him with its minutest part; Man only, with his wand'ring heart, His way forsakes. 4 His service is life's highest joy, It yields fair fruit a hundredfold, Be this our prayer--"Not fame, nor gold, But Thine employ!" Amen. Topics: Christ Humanity of; Labor Day; Working Man; The Christian Way of Life Stewardship and Service Languages: English Tune Title: ALMSGIVING
