George Herbert "The Elixir"

A 16th-century poem I didn't have time to read in class today:

Teach me, my God and King,
         In all things Thee to see,
And what I do in anything
         To do it as for Thee.
[...]
A servant with this clause
         Makes drudgery divine:
Who sweeps a room as for Thy laws,
         Makes that and th' action fine.
