Teach Me, My God And King

George Herbert
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 4
All may of Thee partake; Nothing so small can be But draws, when acted for Thy sake, Greatness and worth from Thee.
Verse 5
If done to obey Thy laws, Een servile labors shine; Hallowed is toil, if this the cause, The meanest work divine.
Verse 6
This is the famous stone That turneth all to gold; For that which God doth touch and own Cannot for less be sold.
