Forth in Thy Name, O Lord, I go,

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 47 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Forth in Thy Name, O Lord, I go, My daily labor 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.

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:

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.
