Fraser Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Civil Year Labor Day Lyrics: 1 Lord, look upon our working days, Busied in factory, office, store; May wordless work your name adore, The common round spell out your praise? 2 Bent to the lot our crafts assign, Swayed by deep tides of need and fear, In loyalties torn, the truth unclear, How may we build to your design? 3 You are the workman, Lord, not we: All worlds were made at your command. Christ, their sustainer, bared his hand, Rescued them from futility. 4 Our part to do what he'll commit, Who strides the world, and calls men all Partners in pain and carnival, To grasp the hope he won for it. 5 Cover our faults with pardon full, Shield those who suffer when we shirk; Take what is worthy in our work, Give it due portion in your rule.
