\nFather, help Your people in this world to build
\nSomething of Your kingdom and to do Your will,
\nLead us to discover partnership in love;
\nBless our ways of sharing and our pride remove.<\/p>\n
2
\nLord of desk and altar, bind our lives in one,
\nThat in work and worship love may set the tone.
\nGive us grace to listen, clarity of speech;
\nMake us truly thankful for the gifts of each.<\/p>\n
3
\nHoly is the setting of each room and yard,
\nLecture hall and kitchen, office, shop, and ward.
\nHoly is the rhythm of our working hours;
\nHallow then our purpose, energy, and pow’rs.<\/p>\n
4
\nStrengthen, Lord, for service hand and heart and brain;
\nHelp us good relations daily to maintain.
\nLet the living presence of the servant Christ
\nHeighten our devotion, make our life a feast.<\/p>\n
