503. Teach me, my God and King

1 Teach me, my God and King,
In all things Thee to see:
And what I do in any thing,
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 Done to obey Thy laws,
E’en servile labors shine:
Hallowed is toil, if this the cause,
The meanest work divine.

Amen.
