Text: | Forth in Thy Name, O Lord, I go |
Author: | Charles Wesley |
Tune: | PIXHAM |
Composer: | Horatio Parker |
1 Forth in Thy Name, O Lord, I go
My daily labour to pursue;
Thee, only Thee, resolved to know,
In all I think, or speak, or do.
2 The task Thy wisdom hath assigned,
O let me cheerfully fulfill;
In all my works Thy presence find,
And prove Thy good and perfect will.
3 Thee may I set at my right hand,
Whose eyes my inmost substance see:
And labour on at Thy command,
And offer all my works to Thee.
4 Give me to bear Thy easy yoke,
And every moment watch and pray;
And still to things eternal look,
And hasten to Thy glorious Day.
5 Fain would I still for Thee employ
Whate'er Thy bounteous grace hath given,
Would run my course with even joy,
And closely walk with Thee to heaven.
Amen.
