IN THY NAME

Forth in Thy name, O Lord, we go,

Our daily labors to pursue,

Thee, only Thee, resolved to know,

In all we think, or speak, or do.

The tasks Thy wisdom hath assigned,

O, let us now with joy fulfill,

Thy presence in our work to find,

And prove Thy good and perfect will.

Refrain:

In Thy name, O Lord, we go;

Make Thy glory known.

Father, Son and Holy Ghost,

In Thy name we go!

Thee may we set at our right hand, Whose eyes our inmost hearts can see, And labor on at Thy command,

And offer all our works to Thee.

Refrain

Give us to bear Thy easy yoke,

And ev’ry moment watch and pray,

And still to things of Thee to look,

And hasten to Thy glorious day,

And with delight for Thee employ Whate’er Thy bounteous grace hath giv’n, And run our course, with all Thy joy,

And closely walk with Thee to heav’n.
