Imn pentru dimineata: Forth in Thy Name, O Lord, I Go by Charles Wesley, 1749

Processional on November 16, 2008, at the Buncombe Street United Methodist Church at the 11:00 AM service.

1 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.

2 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.

3 Thee may I set at my right hand,
Whose eyes my inmost substance see:
And labor 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 Fain would I still for thee employ
Whate’er Thy bounteous grace hath given,
Would run my course with even joy,
And closely walk with thee to heaven.
Amen.
