Forth in Thy Name, O Lord, I Go

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 346 hymnals Matching Instances: 30 Lyrics: 1 Forth in thy name, O Lord, I go, my daily labor to pursue; thee, only thee, resolv'd 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 Preserve me from my calling's snare, and hide my simple heart above. Above the thorns of choking care, the gilded baits of worldly love. 4 Thee I 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. 5 Give me to bear thy easy yoke, and ev'ry moment watch and pray; and still to things eternal look, and hasten to thy glorious day; 6 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.

The spacious firmament on high

Author: Joseph Addison Appears in 790 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heavens, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim. 2 The unwearied sun from day to day Does his Creator's power display, And publishes to every land The work of an Almighty Hand. 3 Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale; And nightly to the listening earth Repeats the story of her birth: 4 Whilst all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they roll And spread the truth from pole to pole. 5 What though in solemn silence all Move round this dark terrestrial ball, What though no real voice nor sound Amidst their radiant orbs be found; 6 In reason's ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice, Forever singing as they shine, "The Hand that made us is divine."

O lift the veil, if veil there be, let ev'ry saint your glory see! Scripture: Acts 9:18 Used With Tune: ANGELS' SONG
