Teach me, my God and King,
in all things thee to see,
and what I do in anything,
to do it as for thee.

to do it as for thee.

All may of thee partake;
nothing can be so mean,
which with this tincture, "for thy sake,"
will not grow bright and clean.

This is the famous stone
that turneth all to gold;
for that which God doth touch and own
cannot for less be told.
