Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #188 (2000) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Luke 21:36 Lyrics: 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 fulfil;
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 ev'ery moment watch and pray,
and still to things eternal look,
and hasten to thy glorious day;
5 For thee delightfully employ
whate'er thy bounteous grace hath giv'n,
and run my course with even joy,
and closely walk with thee to heav'n. Topics: Faith, Trust and Commitment; Final Hymn; Year A Proper 9; Year B Proper 2; Year C Advent 1 Languages: English Tune Title: SONG 34 (ANGELS' SONG)
