L.M. [24]Pixham: Horatio Parker, 1901 Charles Wesley, 1749 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 fulfill; In all my works thy presence find, And prove thy good and perfect 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. Fain would I still for thee employ Whate'er thy bounteous grace hath given, Would run my course with even joy And closely walk with thee to heaven. Amen. |
