Son of the Living God!

Charles Wesley (1746) • English

Primary Scripture: Luke 4:22

Verse 1

Son of the living God! thy hands no human toil disdained; an earthly father's wise commands thy daily work ordained.

Verse 2

Son of the carpenter, receive this humble work of mine; worth to my meqanest labor give, by joining it to thine.

Verse 3

End of my ev'ry action thou, in all things thee I see; accept my hallowed labor now; I do it unto thee.

Verse 4

Thy bright example I pursue, to thee in all things rise; may all I think, or speak, or do be one great sacrifice.

Verse 5

Careless through outward cares I go, from all distraction free; my hands are but engaged below, my heart is still with thee.
