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
The task Thy wisdom hath assigned
O let me cheerfully fulfil
In all my works Thy presence find
And prove Thy acceptable will
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
| |
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
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
|
