Forth in Thy Name

1Forth in Thy name,
O Lord,
I go,
My daily labor to pursue;
Thee, only Thee, resolved to know In all I think, or speak, or do.

2The task Thy wisdom hath assigned,
O let me cheerfully fulfill;
In all my works Thy presence find,
And prove Thy good and perfect will.

3Give me to bear Thy easy yoke,
And every moment watch and pray;
And still to things eternal look,
And hasten to Thy glorious day;

4For Thee delightfully employ Whate'er Thy bounteous grace hath given;
And run my course with even joy,
And closely walk with Thee to heaven.
