304. L. M. Keble.

Seeing God in All.

1 If on our daily course our mind

Be set, to hallow all we find,

New treasures still, of countless price,

God will provide for sacrifice.

2 Old friends, old scenes, will lovelier be,

As more of heaven in each we see;

Some softening gleam of love and prayer

Shall dawn on every cross and care.

3 O could we learn that sacrifice,

What light would all around us rise!

How would our hearts with wisdom talk

Along life's dullest, dreariest walk!

4 The trivial round, the common task,

Will furnish all we ought to ask;

Room to deny ourselves, a road

To bring us daily nearer God.
