- 1Forth 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.
- 2The task Thy wisdom hath assigned,
- O let me cheerfully fulfil,
- In all my works Thy presence find,
- And prove Thy acceptable will.
- 3Thee 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.
- 4Give me to bear Thy easy yoke,
- And every moment watch and pray,
- And still to things eternal look,
- And hasten to Thy glorious day.
- 5For Thee delightfully employ
- Whate'er Thy bounteous grace hath given;
- And run my course with even joy,
- And closely walk with Thee to heaven.
