or the earth or the world brought forth,
you are God, you are God,
God without beginning,
God without end.
Bless the work of our hands,
bless the work of our hands,
Lord our God, bless the work of our hands.

bless the work of our hands,
Lord our God, bless the work of our hands.
Make us know the shortness of our life,
Give us your wisdom, Lord.
Lord, relent! Lord, relent!
Show your servants pity,
Fill us with your love.
Bless the work of our hands,
bless the work of our hands,
Lord our God, bless the work of our hands.
In the morning fill us with your love;
Show us your work, O Lord.
We shall rejoice! We shall rejoice!
Let your glory shine
All of our days.
Bless the work of our hands,
bless the work of our hands,
Lord our God, bless the work of our hands.
