...even Saturday morning yard work.
Lord, whose love in humble service bore the weight of human need,
Who did on the Cross, foresaken, show us mercy's perfect deed:
We, your servants, bring the worship not of voice alone, but heart;
Consecrating to your purpose every gift which you impart.
As we worship, grant us vision, till your love's revealing light,
Till the height and depth and greatness dawns upon our human sight;
Making know the needs and burdens your compassion bids us bear,
Stirring us to faithful service, your abundant life to share.
Called from worship into service, forth in your great name we go:
To the child, the youth, the aged, love in living deeds to show.
Hope and health, goodwill and comfort, counsel, aid, and peace we give,
That your children, Lord, in freedom, may your mercy know, and live.
