Matthew 6:1: Jesus, if Thou Thy servant guard
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Jesus, if Thou Thy servant guard,
I shall obey Thy laws.
Nor seek from man my base reward.
Nor aim at his applause:
O may I cast the world behind.
While in Thy work employ'd.
And only bear it in my mind
That I am seen of God.
