Forth in Your Name, O Lord, I Go

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

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

You may I set at my right hand, Whose eyes my inmost secrets view, And labor on at your command, And offer all my works to you.

Help me to bear your easy yoke, In ev'ry moment watch and pray, And still to things eternal look, And hasten to your glorious day.

Then with delight may I employ All that your bounteous grace has given, And run my earthly course with joy, And closely walk with you in heaven.
