Come, workers for the Lord,
And lift up heart and hand;
Praise God, all skill at bench and board,
Praise, all that brain has planned.
When Christ to manhood came,
A craftsman was he made,
And served his glad apprentice-time
Bound to the joiner’s trade.
When Christ on calvary
Drank down his cruel draught,
The men who made the fatal tree
Were men of his own craft.
So, God, our labour take,
From spite and greed set free;
May nothing that we do or make
Bring ill to man or thee.
All workers for the lord,
Come, sing with voice and heart;
In strength of hands be God adored,
And praised in power of art.
