Lyics

Forth in thy name, O Lord! I go,

My daily labors to pursue;

Thee, only thee, resolved to know

In all I think or speak or do.



Thee will I set at my right hand,

Whose eyes mine inmost substance see,

And labor on at thy command,

And offer all my works to thee.



For thee delightfully employ

Whate'er thy bounteous grace hath given,

And run my course with constant joy,

And closely walk with thee to heaven.
