Author: George Herbert; John Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6541 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 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. A man that looks on glass,
On it may stay his eye;
Or if he pleaseth, through it pass,
And then the heaven espy.
3. 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.
4. All may of Thee partake;
Nothing so small can be
But draws, when acted for Thy sake,
Greatness and worth from Thee.
5. If done to obey Thy laws,
E’en servile labors shine;
Hallowed is toil, if this the cause,
The meanest work divine.
6. This is the famous stone
That turneth all to gold;
For that which God doth touch and own
Cannot for less be sold. Languages: English Tune Title: EMMAUS
