O humble laborer in God’s House
who served to build up His Temple
by the sweat of your brow
and your careful concern
to follow His will –
pray that we shall embody
the same obedience
to the Word of God
and His call to our souls,
that we too will consecrate ourselves
and our daily labor
to service of the Lord
and the upbuilding of His Church,
and that we, too,
might be built into the House
wherein He makes
His eternal dwelling.
We are but poor creatures,
simple and weak;
pray the Lord our God
and His Son for whom you cared
will bless us with your dignity,
O righteous man of God.
