O Master Workman of the race
Author: Rev. Jay T. Stocking Hymnal: The Hymnal #140 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Jesus Christ the Lord His Life and Ministry; Christ Ministry; Christ Life and Ministry; Ministry of Christ Lyrics: 1 O Master Workman of the race,
Thou Man of Galilee,
Who with the eyes of early youth
Eternal things didst 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.
Amen. Tune Title: PETERSHAM
O Master Workman of the race
When the Lord of Love was here
Author: Rev. Stopford Augustus Brooke (1832-1916) Hymnal: The Hymnal #141 (1950) Meter: 7.7.5 D Topics: Jesus Christ the Lord His Life and Ministry; Christ Ministry; Christ Life and Ministry; Ministry of Christ Lyrics: 1 When the Lord of Love was here,
Happy hearts to Him were dear,
Though His heart was sad;
Worn and lonesome for our sake,
Yet he turned aside to make
All the weary glad.
2 Meek and lowly were His ways,
From His loving grew His praise,
From His giving, prayer;
All the outcast thronged to hear,
All the sorrowful drew near
To enjoy His care.
3 When he walked the fields, He drew
From the flowers and birds and dew
Parables of God;
For within His heart of love
All the soul of man did move,
God had His abode.
4 Lord, be ours Thy power to keep
In the very heart of grief,
And in trial, love;
In our meekness to be wise,
And through sorrows to arise
To our God above.
5 Fill us with Thy deep desire
All the sinful to inspire
With the Father’s life;
Free us from the cares that press
On the heart of worldliness,
From the fret and strife.
Amen. Tune Title: WINDRUSH
When the Lord of Love was here
O wondrous type, O vision fair
Author: Rev. John M. Neale Hymnal: The Hymnal #142 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Jesus Christ the Lord His Life and Ministry: Transfiguration; Christ Ministry; Christ Life and Ministry; Ministry of Christ Lyrics: 1 O wondrous type, O vision fair
Of glory that the Church shall share,
Which Christ upon the mountain shows
When brighter than the sun He glows.
2 With shining face and bright array,
Christ deigns to manifest today
What glory shall be theirs above
Who joy in God with perfect love.
3 And faithful hearts are raised on high
By this great vision's mystery;
For which in joyful strains we raise
The voice of prayer, the hymn of praise.
4 O Father, with th' eternal Son,
And Holy Spirit, ever One,
Vouchsafe to bring us by Thy grace
To see Thy glory face to face.
Amen. Tune Title: DEO GRACIAS
O wondrous type, O vision fair
What grace, O Lord, and beauty shone
Author: Edward Denny Hymnal: The Hymnal #143 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Jesus Christ the Lord His Life and Ministry; Christ Ministry; Christ Life and Ministry; Ministry of Christ Lyrics: 1 What grace, O Lord, and beauty shone
Around Thy steps below;
What patient love was seen in all
Thy life and death of woe.
2 Thy foes might hate, despise, revile,
Thy friends unfaithful prove;
Unwearied in forgiveness still,
Thy heart could only love.
3 O give us hearts to love like Thee!
Like Thee, O Lord, to grieve
Far more for others' sins than all
The wrongs that we receive.
4 One with Thyself, may every eye
In us, Thy brethren, see
The gentleness and grace that spring
From union, Lord, with Thee.
Amen. Tune Title: DALEHURST
What grace, O Lord, and beauty shone
Lord, who throughout these forty days
Author: Claudia F. Hernaman Hymnal: The Hymnal #144 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Jesus Christ the Lord His Life and Ministry; Christ Ministry; Christ Life and Ministry; Ministry of Christ Lyrics: 1 Lord, who throughout these forty days
For us didst fast and pray,
Teach us with Thee to mourn our sins,
And close by Thee to stay.
2 As Thou with Satan didst contend,
And didst the victory win,
O give us strength in Thee to fight,
In Thee to conquer sin.
3 And through these days of penitence,
And through Thy Passiontide,
Yea, evermore, in life and death,
Jesus! with us abide.
4 Abide with us, that so, this life
Of suffering over-past,
An Easter of unending joy
We may attain at last!
Amen. Tune Title: ST. FLAVIAN

Lord, as to Thy dear cross we flee
Author: Rev. John Hampden Gurney (1802-1862) Hymnal: The Hymnal #145 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Jesus Christ the Lord His Life and Ministry; Christ Ministry; Christ Life and Ministry; Ministry of Christ Lyrics: 1 Lord, as to Thy dear cross we flee,
And plead to be forgiven,
So let Thy life our pattern be,
And form our souls for heaven.
2 Help us through good report and ill
Our daily cross to bear,
Like Thee, to do our Father's will,
Our brethren's griefs to share.
3 Let grace our selfishness expel,
Our earthliness refine,
And kindness in our bosoms dwell,
As free and true as Thine.
4 If joy shall at Thy bidding fly,
And grief's dark day come on,
We, in our turn, would meekly cry,
"Father, Thy will be done."
5 Kept peaceful in the midst of strife,
Forgiving and forgiven,
O may we lead the pilgrim's life,
And follow Thee to heaven.
Amen. Tune Title: ST. COLUMBA (IRISH)
Lord, as to Thy dear cross we flee
Great God, Your Love Has Called Us
Author: Brian A. Wren, b. 1936 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Worship #358 (2006) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Diaconal Ministry; Vocation, Ministry; Diaconal Ministry; Vocation, Ministry First Line: Great God, your love has called us here Lyrics: 1 Great God, your love has called us here,
as we, by love, for love were made.
Your living likeness still we bear,
though marred, dishonored, disobeyed.
We come, with all our heart and mind
your call to hear, your love to find.
2 We come with self-inflicted pains
of broken trust and chosen wrong,
half-free, half-bound by inner chains,
by social forces swept along,
by pow'rs and systems close confined,
yet seeking hope for humankind.
3 Great God, in Christ you call our name
and then receive us as your own,
not through some merit, right, or claim,
but by your gracious love alone.
We strain to glimpse your mercy seat
and find you kneeling at our feet.
4 Then take the towel, and break the bread,
and humble us, and call us friends.
Suffer and serve till all are fed,
and show how grandly love intends
to work till all creation sings,
to fill all worlds, to crown all things.
5 Great God, in Christ you set us free
your life to live, your joy to share.
Give us your Spirit's liberty
to turn from guilt and dull despair,
and offer all that faith can do
while love is making all things new. Languages: English Tune Title: RYBURN

Lord Jesus, Who Art come
Author: Eberhard L. Fischer Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #485 (1941) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Topics: The Church Ministry Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus, who art come
A Teacher sent from heaven
And by both word and deed
God's truth to us hast given.
Thou wisely hast ordained
The holy ministry
That we, Thy flock, may know
The way to God thro' Thee.
2 Thou hast, O Lord, returned,
To God's right hand ascending;
Yet Thou art in the world,
Thy kingdom here extending.
Thro' preaching of Thy Word
In ev'ry land and clime
Thy people's faith is kept
Until the end of time.
3 O blessed ministry
Of reconciliation,
That shows the way to God
And brings to us salvation!
By Thine evangel pure,
Lord, Thou preserv'st Thy fold,
Dost call, enlighten, keep,
Dost comfort and uphold.
4 Preserve this ministry
While harvest-days are keeping;
And since the fields are white
And hands are few for reaping,
Send workers forth, O Lord,
The sheaves to gather in
That not a soul be lost
Which Thou art come to win.
5 The servants Thou hast called
And to Thy Church art giving
Preserve in doctrine pure
And holiness of living.
Thy Spirit fill their hearts,
Endue their tongues with power;
What they should boldly speak,
Oh, give them in that hour!
6 Yea, bless Thy Word alway,
Our souls forever feeding;
And may we never lack
A faithful shepherd's leading!
Seek Thou the wandering sheep,
Bind up the sore opprest,
Lift up the fallen ones,
And grant the weary rest.
7 Bring those into Thy fold
Who still to Thee are strangers;
Guard those who are within
Against offense and dangers.
Press onward with Thy Word
Till pastor and his fold
Through faith in Thee, O Christ,
Thy glory shall behold.
Amen. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 4:1 Languages: English Tune Title: O GOTT, DU FROMMER GOTT
