Luke 10:17: To Christ ascribing my success
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)

To Christ ascribing my success.
To Christ I may the glory give
In words, while secretly I please
Myself, and vain delight receive.
May praise myself in praising God,
Happy that I by men am known.
That I, not others, was employ'd.
That I perform'd the work alone.
