LyicsTEACH me, my God and King,
Thy will in all to see;
And what I do in any thing,
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 beneath thy laws,
E'en servile labors shine;
Hallowed its toil, if this the cause;
The meanest work, divine.
