Forth in Your Name, O Lord, I Go
"Go work today in my vineyard." -Mat 21:28
VERSE 1
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.
VERSE 2
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.
VERSE 3
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.
VERSE 4
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.
VERSE 5
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.
