Servant of all, to toil for man
Thou didst not, Lord, refuse;
Thy majesty did not disdain
To be employed for us.

Son of the carpenter, receive
This humble work of mine;
Worth to my meanest labour give,
By joining it to thine.

End of my every action thou,
In all things thee I see;
Accept my hallowed 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.


Charles Wesley (1707-88)
