Servant of all, to toil for man
Thou didst not, Lord, refuse;
Thy majesty did not disdain
To be employed for us.
Son of the carpenter, receive
This humble work of mine;
Worth to my meanest labor give,
By joining it to Thine.
End of my every action Thou,
In all things Thee I see;
Accept my hallowed labor now,
I do it unto Thee.
Thy bright example I pursue,
To Thee in all things rise;
And all I think or speak or do
Is one great sacrifice.
Careless through outward cares I go,
From all distraction free;
My hands are but engaged below,
My heart is still with Thee.
Whate’er the Father views as thine,
He views with gracious eyes,
Jesus, this mean oblation join
To thy great sacrifice.
