460. Teach us, good Lord, to serve you

Teach us, good Lord,
to serve you as you deserve;
to give and not to count the cost;
to fight and not to heed the wounds;
to toil and not to seek for rest;
to labour and not to ask for any reward,
except for that of knowing that we do your will;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
