Hymns of the Living Church Forth in Thy Name, O Lord, I Go Church Triumphant L. M. JAMES WILLIAM ELLIOTT 1. Forth in Thy name, O Lord, I go, My daily labor to pur-sue, 0:4 4 Thee, only Thee, re-solved to know, In all I think, or speak, or do. A-men. 2 The task Thy wisdom hath assigned O let me cheerfully fulfil; 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 mine 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, And run my course with even joy, And closely walk with Thee to heaven. Amen. CHARLES WESLEY 2 New Every Morning is the Love Melcombe L. M. SAMUEL WEBBE 1. New ev'ry morning is the love Our wakening and up rising prove; 4 Through sleep and dark-ness safe-ly brought, Restored to life, and power, and thought. A-men. 2 New mercies, each returning day, New perils past, new sins forgiven, New thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven. 3 If on our daily course our mind Be set to hallow all we find, New treasures still, of countless price, God will provide for sacrifice. 4 The trivial round, the common task, 5 Only, O Lord, in Thy dear love Fit us for perfect rest above; And help us, this and every day, To live more nearly as we pray. Amen. JOHN KEBLE For Thy mercies, Lord, are sure; Thy com-pas-sion doth en- dure. A-men. As the morning light returns, Ever blessed Trinity, With our hands our hearts to raise, In unfailing prayer and praise. Amen. |
