Christ the worker:
Christ the worker,
born in Bethlehem,
born to work and die for everyone.
Blessed man-child:
blessed man-child,
boy of Nazareth,
grew in wisdom as he grew in skill.
Skillful craftsman:
skillful craftsman,
blessed carpenter,
praising God by labor at his bench.
Yoke maker:
yoke maker,
fashioned by his hands,
easy yokes that made the labor less.
All who labor:
all who labor,
listen to his call,
he will make that heavy burden light.
Heavy laden:
heavy laden,
gladly come to him,
he will ease your load and give you rest.
Christ the worker:
Christ the worker,
love alive for us,
teach us how to do all work for God.
Tom Colvin (1925-2000)
