Gracious Savior, Who Didst Honor

Gracious Sav­ior

who didst hon­or

Womankind as wo­man’s Son;

Very Man

though God be­got­ten

And with God the Fa­ther One;

Grant our wo­man­hood may be

Consecrated

Lord

to Thee.

Jesus

Son of hu­man mo­ther

Bless our mo­ther­hood

we pray;

Give us grace to lead our child­ren

Draw them to Thee day by day;

May our sons and daugh­ters be

Dedicated

Lord

to Thee.

Thou who didst with Jo­seph la­bor

Nor didst hum­ble work dis­dain

Grant we may Thy foot­steps fol­low

Patiently through toil and pain;

May our qui­et home life be

Lived

O Lord

in Thee

to Thee.

Thou who didst go forth in sor­row

Toiling for the souls of men

Thou who shalt draw all men to Thee

Though de­spised

re­ject­ed then;

Humble though our in­flu­ence be

Use it in the world for Thee.
