SA Song Book 688
1.
Lord, as we take our chosen way
In commerce, industry or art,
The state or science, we would pray
To serve with singleness of heart.
2.
Thou, Lord, a craftsman’s tools hast plied,
A craftsman’s excellence hast shown,
And honest labor sanctified
By making human toil thine own.
3.
In works or office, field or mart,
Where our appointments, Lord, may be,
Grant that with mind and hand and heart
We labor as we would for thee.
4.
So shall our light be shed abroad
And we, as Christians truly named,
Shall strive to be approved of God.
His workmen, not to be ashamed.
