30LAUS DEO

30LAUS DEOLet praise devote thy work, and skill employThy whole mind, and thy heart be lost in joy.Well-doing bringeth pride, this constant thoughtHumility, that thy best done is nought.Man doeth nothing well, be it great or small,Save to praise God; but that hath savèd all:For God requires no more than thou hast done,And takes thy work to bless it for his own.

Let praise devote thy work, and skill employ

Thy whole mind, and thy heart be lost in joy.

Well-doing bringeth pride, this constant thought

Humility, that thy best done is nought.

Man doeth nothing well, be it great or small,

Save to praise God; but that hath savèd all:

For God requires no more than thou hast done,

And takes thy work to bless it for his own.
