Laus Deo

Let praise devote thy work, and skill employ

Thy whole mind, and thy heart be lost in joy.

Well-doing bringeth pride, this constant thought

Humility, that thy best done is nought.

Man doeth nothing well, be it great or small,

Save to praise God; but that hath saved all:

For God requires no more than thou hast done,

And takes thy work to bless it for his own.
