African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal ‎#128

128. O Son of Man, Thou Madest Known

1 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.

2 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.

3 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.

4 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.

Amen.
