my daily labour to pursue,
you, Lord, alone resolved to know,
in all I think, or speak, or do.
2 Each task your wisdom has assigned
still let me cheerfully fulfil,
in all my works your presence find,
and prove your good and perfect will.
3 You may I set at my right hand,
whose eyes my inmost substance view,
and labour on at your command,
and offer all my works to you.
4 Give me to bear your easy yoke,
and every moment watch and pray,
and still to things eternal look,
and hasten to your glorious day;
5 for you delightfully employ
all that your bounteous grace has given,
and run my course with even joy,
and closely walk with you to heaven. Scripture: 1 Timothy 6:11-12 Used With Tune: SONG 34
