How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Worship #580 (2006) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Lyrics: 1 How clear is our vocation, Lord,
when once we heed your call
to live according to your word
and daily learn, refreshed, restored,
that you are Lord of all
and will not let us fall.
2 But if, forgetful, we should find
your yoke is hard to bear;
if worldly pressures fray the mind
and love itself cannot unwind
its tangled skein of care:
our inward life repair.
3 We marvel how your saints become
in hindrances more sure;
whose joyful virtues put to shame
the casual way we wear your name,
and by our faults obscure
your pow'r to cleanse and cure.
4 In what you give us, Lord, to do,
together or alone,
in old routines or ventures new,
may we not cease to look to you,
the cross you hung upon,
all you endeavored done. Topics: Saints Days; Vocation, Ministry; Cross-bearing; Saints Days; Sending; Vocation, Ministry Languages: English Tune Title: REPTON
