Servant of All, to Toil for Man

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.
