Author: David Mowbray (born 1938); H. Pink Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Christ, the Master Carpenter,
high on a cross you died;
a wooden cross, with iron nails,
a spear thrust in your side.
2 O Christ, upon that Friday cross
your work on earth was done;
yet, truly, in my life today
your work has just begun.
3 O Christ, take up your workman's tools
and shape my life anew,
that I who now appear rough-hewn
may be restored by you.
4 O Christ, the Master Carpenter,
let beauty gently shine
within the workshop of my life —
the praise be yours, not mine. Topics: God, Saviour Suffering and Dying; Pentecost 18 The Offering of Life Used With Tune: ALBANO
