Author: Tom Colvin Hymnal: EP1977 #58 (1977) Lyrics: 1 Christ the worker, Christ the worker,
born in Bethlehem,
born to work and die for ev'ry man.
2 Blessed manchild, Blessed manchild,
boy of Nazareth,
grew in wisdom as He grew in skill.
3 Skillful craftsman, Skillful craftsman,
blessed carpenter,
praising God by labor at His bench.
4 Yoke maker, Yoke maker,
fashioned by His hands,
easy yokes that made the labor less.
5 You who labor, You who labor,
listen to His call,
He will make that heavy burden light.
6 Heavy laden, Heavy laden,
gladly come to Him,
He will ease your load and give you rest.
7 Christ the worker, Christ the worker,
God-in-Man,
teach us how to do all work for God. Topics: Jesus Christ His Youth Languages: English Tune Title: [Christ the worker]
