Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #638 (1995) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Forth in your name, O Lord Lyrics: 1 Forth in your name, O Lord, I go
my daily labor to pursue -
you only, Lord, resolved to know
in all I think or speak or do.
2 The task your wisdom has assigned
here let us cheerfully fulfill,
in all my work your presence find
and prove your good and perfect will.
3 Help me to bear your easy yoke,
in every moment watch and pray,
and still to things eternal look
and hasten to that glorious day.
4 Then with delight may we employ
all that your bounteous grace has giv'n,
and run my earthly course with joy,
and closely walk with you to heav'n. Topics: Ministry and Christian Vocation; Labor and laborers; Life in Christ; Ministry; Steadfastness; Worship Scripture: Psalm 16 Languages: English Tune Title: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM
