O Master Workman of the Race

Author: Jay T Stocking Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 108 hymnals Topics: Worship of the Son Lyrics: 1 O Master Workman of the race, Thou Man of Galilee, Who with the eyes of early youth Eternal things did see; We thank Thee for Thy boyhood faith That shone Thy whole life through; "Did ye not know it is my work My Father’s work to do?" 2 O Carpenter of Nazareth, Builder of life divine, Who shapest man to God’s own law, Thyself the fair design: Build us a tower of Christ-like height, That we the land may view, And see, like Thee, our noblest work, Our Father’s work to do. 3 O Thou who dost the vision send And givest each his task, And with the task sufficient strength: Show us Thy will, we ask; Give us a conscience bold and good; Give us a purpose true, That it may be our highest joy Our Father’s work to do.

I Have Found a Friend In Jesus

Meter: Irregular Appears in 396 hymnals Topics: Worship of the Son Lyrics: 1 I have found a friend in Jesus, He's everything to me, He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul; The "Lily of the Valley," In Him alone I see All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole. In sorrow He's my comfort, in trouble He's my stay, He tells me every care on Him to roll; He's the "Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star," He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul. 2 He all my griefs has taken And all my sorrows borne, In temptation He's my strong and mighty tower; I have all for Him forsaken, And all my idols torn From my heart, and now He keeps me by His power. Though all the world forsake me, And Satan tempts me sore, Through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal; He's the "Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star," He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul. 3 He will never, never leave me, Nor yet forsake me here, While I live by faith and do His blessed will; A wall of fire about me, I've nothing now to fear, With His manna He my hungry soul shall fill. Then sweeping up to glory To see His blessed face, Where rivers of delight shall ever roll; He's the "Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star," He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.

Though the earth be shaking, every heart be quaking, Jesus calms our fear; sin and hell in conflict fell with their heaviest storms assail us; Jesus will not fail us. 3 Hence, all thoughts of sadness! For the Lord of gladness, Jesus, enters in.
