To Be Sung at Work: Another
From Hymns and Sacred Poems (1739) · Osborn ed., vol. 1 (1868)
Summon'd my labour to renew,
And glad to act my part,
Lord, in Thy name my task I do,
And with a single heart.
End of my every action Thou!
Thyself in all I see:
Accept my hallow'd labour now;
I do it unto Thee.
Whate'er the Father views as Thine,
He views with gracious eyes.
Jesus! this mean oblation join
To Thy great sacrifice.
Stamp'd with an infinite desert,
My work He then shall own;
Well-pleased in me, when mine Thou art,
And I His favourite son!
