302. All Work Divine

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 beneath Thy laws,
E’en servile labors shine;
Hallowed is toil, if this the cause;
The meanest work divine.
