466. S. M. Herbert. Doing all to the Glory of God.
1 Teach me, my God and King,
In all things thee to see;
And what I do in anything,
To do it as for thee!
2 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.
3 All may of thee partake:
Nothing so small can be,
But draws, when acted for thy sake,
Greatness and worth from thee.
4 If done beneath thy laws,
Even servile labors shine;
Hallowed is toil, if this the cause,
The meanest work divine.
