THE ELIXIR.
From the same.
Teach me, my God and King,
In all things Thee to see;
And what I do in any thing,
To do it as for Thee!
In all things Thee to see;
And what I do in any thing,
To do it as for Thee!
31
To scorn the senses' sway,
While still to Thee I tend:
In all I do, be Thou the Way;
In all, be Thou the End.
While still to Thee I tend:
In all I do, be Thou the Way;
In all, be Thou the End.
A man that looks on glass,
On that may fix his eye;
Or unopposed may through it pass
And heaven behind descry.
On that may fix his eye;
Or unopposed may through it pass
And heaven behind descry.
All may of Thee partake:
Nothing so small can be,
But draws, when acted for Thy sake,
Greatness and worth from Thee.
Nothing so small can be,
But draws, when acted for Thy sake,
Greatness and worth from Thee.
If done to' obey Thy laws,
Even servile labours shine;
Hallow'd is toil, if this the cause,
The meanest work divine.
Even servile labours shine;
Hallow'd is toil, if this the cause,
The meanest work divine.
The' elixir this, the stone
That all converts to gold:
For that which God for His doth own
Cannot for less be told.
That all converts to gold:
For that which God for His doth own
Cannot for less be told.
