Romans 15:2: Let every one of us please his neighbour, for his, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 13 (1872)
xt AIMING at the noblest end,
Would I learn the art to please,
Yield to all, and condescend,
Sacrifice my time and ease,
Cast my own desires behind,
Live the servant of mankind.
Every gift on me bestow,
Let me, Lord, to all impart,
Studious of my neighbour's good,
Serve Him with a willing heart,
Serve with complaisance Divine,
Serve, till both are wholly Thine.
