I plainly see monotony
Is your own discipline;
For faithful we are asked to be
In small tasks without end.
In these small tasks are virtues learned:
Your faith and hope and love.
To those great things our minds are turned
By Holy Spirit’s dove.
For every day in every way
In all those simple tasks,
You come to us; we hear you say:
“Your faithfulness I ask.”
When faith and hope and love become
The habits of our hearts,
Then when we come to heaven’s home,
See earth as heaven’s part.
