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. A-men.
3 Thee may I set at my right hand,
Whose eyes my inmost substance see,
And labor 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 For thee delightfully employ
Whate'er thy bounteous grace hath given,
And run my course with even joy,
And closely walk with thee to heaven.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ANGEL'S SONG (SONG 34)
Forth in thy Name, O Lord, I go
