Almighty Father, who for us
thy Son didst give,
That men and women
through his precious death might live,
In mercy guard us,
lest by sloth and selfish pride
We cause to stumble those
for whom the Saviour died.
We are thy stewards;
thine our talents, wisdom, skill;
Our only glory that we will thy trust fulfil;
That we thy pleasure
in our neighbours’ good pursue,
If thou but workest in us both
to will and do.
On just and unjust thou thy care
dost freely shower;
Make us, thy children,
free from greed and lust for power,
Lest human justice,
yoked with man’s unequal laws,
Oppress the needy and neglect
the humble cause.
Let not our worship blind us
to the claims of love;
But let thy manna lead us
to the feast above,
To seek the country which by faith
we now possess,
Where Christ, our treasure,
reigns in peace and righteousness.
