By A Collection of Hymns

      L.M.
      1 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 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.

      4 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.

      5 For thee delightfully employ
      Whate'er thy bounteous grace hath given;
      And run my course with even joy,
      And closely walk with thee to heaven.
