#353Father, Help Your People

1
Father, help Your people in this world to build Something of Your kingdom and to do Your will, Lead us to discover partnership in love; Bless our ways of sharing and our pride remove.
2
Lord of desk and altar, bind our lives in one, That in work and worship love may set the tone. Give us grace to listen, partnership of speech; Make us truly thankful for the gifts of each.
3
Holy is the setting of each room and yard, Lecture-hall and kitchen, of office shop, and ward. Holy is the rhythm of our working hours; Height-en our devotion, make our life a feast.
4
Strengthen Lord, for service and heart and brain; Help us good relations daily to maintain. Let the living presence of the servant Christ Bless our ways of sharing and our pride remove.
