The Hymnal and Order of Service ‎#502

502. Forth in Thy Name, O Lord, I Go

1 Forth in Thy Name, O Lord, I go,
My daily labor 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 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.

4 Fain would I still for Thee employ
Whate'er Thy bounteous grace hath given;
Would run my even course with joy,
And closely walk with Thee to heaven.

Amen.
