Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Worship and Rejoice #718 (2003) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Worship and Rejoice First Line: Forth in your name, O Lord, I go Lyrics: 1 Forth in your name, O Lord, I go
my daily labor to pursue;
you, Lord, alone I choose to know
in all I think or speak or do.
2 The task your wisdom has assigned
here let me cheerfully fulfill;
in all my work your presence find
and prove your good and perfect will.
3 You I would set at my right hand
whose eyes my inmost secrets view;
and labor on at your command
and offer all my work to you.
4 Help me to bear your easy yoke
and every moment watch and pray;
and still to things eternal look
and hasten to that glorious day.
5 Gladly for you may I employ
all that your generous grace has given;
and run my earthly course with joy,
and closely walk with you to heaven.
