| The pure and faithful saint whose heart is whole | A |
| To God the Father makes his sacrifice | B |
| From out the treasures of a stainless soul | A |
| Glad gifts of innocence beyond all price | B |
| Another with free hand bestows his gold | H |
| Whereby his needy neighbour may be fed | H |
| No wealth of holiness my heart doth hold | H |
| No store have I to buy my brothers bread | H |
| So here I humbly dedicate to Thee | I |
| The rolling trochee and iambus swift | H |
| Thou wilt approve my simple minstrelsy | B |
| Thine ear will listen to Thy servant's gift | H |
| The rich man's halls are nobly furnish d | I |
| Therein no nook or corner empty seems | B |
| Here stands the brazen laver burnish d | I |
| And there the golden goblet brightly gleams | B |
| Hard by some crock of clumsy earthen ware | C |
| Massive and ample lies a silver plate | H |
| And rough hewn cups of oak or elm are there | C |
| With vases carved of ivory delicate | H |
| Yet every vessel in its place is good | H |
| So be it for the Master's service meet | H |
| The priceless salver and the bowl of wood | H |
| Alike He needs to make His home complete | H |
| Therefore within His Father's spacious hall | A |
| Christ fits me for the service of a day | H |
| Mean though I be a vessel poor and small | A |
| And in some lowly corner lets me stay | H |
| Lo in the palace of the King of Kings | B |
| I play the earthen pitcher's humble part | H |
| Yet to have done Him meanest service brings | B |
| A thrill of rapture to my thankful heart | H |
| Whate'er the end this thought will joy afford | H |
| My lips have sung the praises of my Lord | H |
Aurelius Clemens Prudentius
