1 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.
2 End of my every action thou!
Thyself in all I see:
Accept my hallow’d labour now;
I do it unto thee.
58Ori., “outwards”; corrected in 3rd edn. (1739) and following.
59“One” changed to “me” in 4th edn. (1743) and 5th edn. (1756).
3 Whate’er the Father views as thine,
He views with gracious eyes.
Jesus! This mean oblation join
To thy great sacrifice.
4 Stampt with an infinite desert
My work he then shall own;
Well-pleas’d in me, when mine thou art,
And I his favourite son!
