Teach me, my God and King,
In all things Thee to see,
And what I do in anything
To do it as for Thee.
To scorn the senses’ sway,
While still to Thee I tend:
In all I do be Thou the Way,
In all be Thou the End.
All may of Thee partake;
Nothing so small can be
But draws, when acted for Thy sake,
Greatness and worth from Thee.
If done to obey Thy laws,
E’en servile labours shine;
Hallowed is toil, if this the cause,
The meanest work divine.
Thee, then, my God and King,
In all things may I see;
And what I do, in any thing,
May it be done for thee!
---Alternative verses---
If done beneath Thy laws,
E’en servile labours shine;
Hallowed is toil, if this the cause,
The meanest work divine.
