How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Topics: Call and Response 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 mark your saints, how they became in hindrances more sure, whose joyful virtues put to shame the casual way we wear your name, and by our faults obscure your power 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: 1 John 5:3 Used With Tune: REPTON
