O Master Workman of the Race
Author: Jay T. Stocking Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 108 hymnals 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 us to God's own law,
thyself the fair design,
build us a tower of Christ-like height
that we thy 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 their 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. Topics: Children Hymns for; Jesus Christ Epiphany and Youth; Jesus Christ Guide and Leader; Jesus Christ Master; Jesus Christ Teachings; Purpose; Vision Scripture: Luke 2:49 Used With Tune: SEDGWICK

My Master was a worker
O Jesus, I have promised
Author: John Ernest Bode, 1816 - 74 Appears in 621 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, I have promised
To serve thee to the end;
Be thou forever near me,
My master and my friend;
I shall not fear the battle
If thou art by my side,
Nor wander from the pathway
If thou wilt be my guide.
2 O let me feel thee near me,
The world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle,
The tempting sounds I hear;
My foes are ever near me,
Around me and within;
But, Jesus, draw thou nearer,
And shield my soul from sin. A-men.
3 O let me hear thee speaking
In accents clear and still,
Above the storms of passion,
The murmurs of self-will;
O speak to reassure me,
To hasten or control;
O speak, and make me listen,
Thou guardian of my soul.
4 O Jesus, thou hast promised
To all who follow thee,
That where thou art in glory
There shall thy servant be;
And, Jesus, I have promised
To serve thee to the end;
O give me grace to follow,
My master and my friend.
Amen. Topics: The Life In Christ Pilgrimage; The Life In Christ Service; The Life In Christ Conflict and Victory; The Life In Christ Consecration Used With Tune: SEDGWICK
