O Son of Man, Thou Madest Known

Milton S. Littlefield (1916) • English

Primary Scripture: Genesis 8:22

Verse 1

O Son of Man, Thou madest known, Through quiet work in shop and home, The sacredness of common things, The chance of life that each day brings.

Verse 2

O Workman true, may we fulfill In daily life Thy Father’s will; In duty’s call, Thy call we hear To fuller life through work sincere.

Verse 3

Thou Master Workman, grant us grace The challenge of our tasks to face; By loyal scorn of second best, By effort true, to meet each test.

Verse 4

And thus we pray in deed and word, Thy kingdom come on earth, O Lord; In work that gives effect to prayer, Thy purpose for Thy world we share. Amen.
