Hymn 004 - Forth in Thy Name, O Lord I go

Walk before me, and thou perfect.

1. mf 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.
2. The task thy wisdom hath assigned
   O let me cheerfully fulfil,
   In all my works Thy presence find,
   And prove Thy acceptable will.
3. Preserve me from my calling's snare
   And hide my simple heart above,
   Above the thorns of choking care
   The gilded baits of worldly love
4. cr 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.
5. mf 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.
6. f For Thee delightfully employ
   Whate'er Thy bounteous grace hath giv'n,
   And run my course with even joy,
   And closely walk with Thee to heaven.
   Amen.
