His fathers' shop was rude and bare
But Jesus labored daily there,
Making from the rough-hewn wood
Pieces that were true and good.
With gentle patience he would take
The crooked piece and make it straight,
And shape it with his laborer's hands
According to his father's plans.
In Father's house He labors still
According to His Father's will;
Every rough and knotty place
He smooths with His amazing grace.
The fruits of all His labors tell
A house where He and God might dwell;
And plank to board He fastens them
To build the New Jerusalem.
