Music at the Offering:  Grace Choir-"How Clear is Our Vocation, Lord"
by C. H.H. Parry, arr. Schultz-Widmar
How clear is our vocation, Lord, When once we heed your call;
    To live according to your word And daily learn, refreshed, restored,
    That you are Lord of all, And will not let us fall.
    We marvel how your saints become In hindrances more sure;
    Whose joyful virtues put to shame The casual way we wear your name,
    And by our thoughts obscure Your pow'r to cleanse and cure.
    But if, forgetful, we should find Your yoke is hard to bear;
    If worldly pressures fray the mind, And love itself cannot unwind
    Its tangled skein of care: Our inward life repair.
    In what you give us, Lord, to do, Together or alone,
    In old routines and ventures new, May we not cease to look to you,
    The cross you hung upon All you endeavored done.
