O Master, Let Me Walk with You
Author: Washington Gladden Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 589 hymnals Topics: Labor and laborers Lyrics: 1 O Master, let me walk with you
in lowly paths of service true;
tell me your secret; help me bear
the strain of toil, the fret of care.
2 Help me the slow of heart to move
by some clear, winning word of love;
teach me the wayward feet to stay,
and guide them in the homeward way.
3 Teach me your patience; share with me
a closer, dearer company.
In work that keeps faith sweet and strong,
in trust that triumphs over wrong,
4 in hope that sends a shining ray
far down the future's broad'ning way,
in peace that only you can give;
with you, O Master, let me live. Scripture: Isaiah 6:8 Used With Tune: MARYTON

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 349 hymnals Topics: Industry & Labor; Industry & Labor Lyrics: 1 Forth in your name, O Lord, I go
my daily labor to pursue
you only, Lord, resolved to know

here let me cheerfully fulfill,
in all my work your presence find
and prove your good and perfect will.
3 You may I set at my right hand,
whose eyes my inmost secrets view,
and labor on at your command
and offer all my work to you.
4 Help me to bear your easy yoke,
in every moment watch and pray,
and still to things eternal look
and hasten to that glorious day.
5 Then with delight may I employ
all that your bounteous grace has given,
and run my earthly course with joy,
and closely walk with you to heaven.
Amen.

God, Whose Giving Knows No Ending
Author: Robert L. Edwards Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 33 hymnals Topics: Labor Lyrics: 1 God, whose giving knows no ending,
from your rich and endless store:
nature's wonder, Jesus' wisdom,
costly cross, grave's shattered door;
gifted by you, we turn to you,
offering up ourselves in praise;
thankful songs shall rise forever,
gracious donor of our days.
2 Skills and time are ours for pressing
toward the goals of Christ, your Son:
all at peace in health and freedom,
races joined, the church made one.
Now direct our daily labor,
lest we strive for self alone;
born with talents, make us servants
fit to answer at your throne.
3 Treasure, too, you have entrusted,
gain through powers your grace conferred;
ours to use for home and kindred,
and to spread the gospel word.
Open wide our hands in sharing,
as we heed Christ's ageless call,
healing, teaching, and reclaiming,
serving you by loving all. Scripture: James 1:5 Used With Tune: BEACH SPRING
God, Whose Giving Knows No Ending
As with Gladness Men of Old
Author: William Chatterton Dix Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 647 hymnals Topics: Civil Year Labor Day Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old
Did the guiding star behold;
As with joy they hailed its light,
Leading onward, beaming bright;
So, most gracious Lord, may we
Evermore be led to thee.
2 As with joyful steps they sped
To that lowly manger bed,
There to bend the knee before
Him whom heaven and earth adore,
So may we with willing feet
Ever seek thy mercy seat.
3 As they offered gifts most rare
At that manger rude and bare,
So may we with holy joy,
Pure, and free from sin's alloy,
All our costliest treasures bring,
Christ, to thee, our heavenly King.
4 Holy Jesus, every day
Keep us in the narrow way;
And, when earthly things are past,
Bring our ransomed souls at last
Where they need no star to guide,
Where no clouds thy glory hide.
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 2:1-2 Used With Tune: DIX
As with Gladness Men of Old
All Labor Gained New Dignity
Author: John Oxenham, 1852-1941 Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Labor Day 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. Used With Tune: ALMSGIVING
All Labor Gained New Dignity
Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life
Author: Frank M. North, 1850-1935 Appears in 377 hymnals Topics: Labor Day Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life,
Where sound the cries of race and clan,
Above the noise of selfish strife,
We hear Thy voice, O Son of man!
2 In haunts of wretchedness and need,
On shadowed thresholds dark with fears,
From paths where hide the lures of greed,
We catch the vision of Thy tears.
3 The cup of water giv'n for Thee
Stills holds the freshness of Thy grace;
Yet long these multitudes to see
The sweet compassion of Thy face.
4 O Master, from the mountain side,
Make haste to heal these hearts of pain,
Among these restless throngs abide,
O tread the city's streets again;
5 Till sons of men shall learn Thy love,
And follow where Thy feet have trod;
Till glorious from Thy heaven above
Shall come the city of our God.
Amen. Used With Tune: GERMANY

How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord
Author: Fred Pratt Green, b. 1903 Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Topics: Labor, Laborers Lyrics: 1 How clear is our vocation, Lord,
When once we heed Your call:
To live according to Your Word,
And daily learn, refreshed, restored,
That You are Lord of all,
And will not let us fall.
2 But if, forgetful, we should find
Your yoke is hard to bear;
If worldly pressures fray the mind,
And love itself cannot unwind
Its tangled skein of care:
Our inward life repair.
3 We marvel how Your saints become
In hindrances more sure;
Whose joyful virtues put to shame
The casual way we wear Your name,
And by our faults obscure
Your pow'r to cleanse and cure.
4 In what You give us, Lord, to do,
Together or alone,
In old routines or ventures new,
May we not cease to look to You,
The cross You hung upon--
All You endeavored done. Scripture: Matthew 11:28-30 Used With Tune: REPTON
How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord
