By Robert Bridges (1844–1930)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, | 5 |
| Save to praise God; but that hath savèd all: | |
| For God requires no more than thou hast done, | |
| And takes thy work to bless it for His own. | |
