1  Every thread I wind this day,

    Every footstep on life's way,

    Every clod I shall unearth,

    Every task, whate'er its worth:

    Only for God's glory living,

    Blessing, praise and honor giving!

 2  All the burdens of the day,

    All the words which I shall say,

    All the works my God may send,

    All the hours in rest I spend:

    Ever for His glory living,

    Blessing, praise and honor giving!

 3  Every blood-drop in the heart,

    Every grief and aching smart,

    Every bitter pulse of pain,

    Every hour of joy again:

    Only for God's glory living,

    Blessing, praise and honor giving!

 5  All, from deeds of little worth,

    To the greatest things on earth;

    Mine to build some world to be,

    Or to lie and gaze on Thee:

    For Thy glory daily living,

    Blessing, praise and honor giving!
