Teach me, O Lord, that simple grace
Which sanctifies the lowliest place,
Inspiring every thought and act
With gentleness and kindly tact,
So that the humblest words of mine
May breathe the Spirit that is Thine;
And though my task seem slight and small
Let me trace Thy will in all,
Not seeking honor in fine deeds,
But serving where another needs,
So striving that at last I meet
The Master at my brother's feet.
