Forth in Your Name, O Lord, I Go

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 347 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Forth in your name, O Lord, I go my daily labor to pursue; you,Lord, alone I choose to know in all I think or speak or do. 2 The task your wisdom has assigned here let me cheerfully fulfill; in all my work your presence find and prove your good and perfect will. 3 You I would set at my right hand, whose eyes my inmost secrets view, and labor on at your command and offer all my work to you. 4 Help me to bear your easy yoke, and every moment watch and pray; and still to things eternal look and hasten to that glorious day. 5 Gladly for you may I employ all that your generous grace has given and run my earthly course with joy, and closely walk with you to heaven.

To God Who Makes All Lovely Things

Author: J. M. C. Crum Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To God who makes all lovely things How happy must our praises be! Each day a new surprise he brings, To make us glad is world to see. 2 How plentiful must be the mines From which he gives his gold away; In March he gives us celandines, he gives buttercups in May. 3 He grows the wheat and never stops; There's none can count the blades of green; And up among the elm-tree tops As many thousand leaves are seen. 4 And when the wheat is bound in sheaves He sends his wind among the trees, And down come all the merry leaves In yellow-twinkling companies. 5 On winter nights his quiet flakes Come falling, falling all the night, And when the world next morning wakes It finds itself all shining white. 6 He makes the sea that shines afar With waves that dance unceasingly; And every single little star That twinkles in the evening sky. 7 He made the people that I meet, The many people great and small In home and school, and down the street, And he made me to love them all.

Among His People, God Is Known

Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Among His people God is known Lyrics: 1 Among His people God is known; Most glorious in His might and grace; He makes Jerusalem His throne, Her peaceful hills His dwelling place. 2 When God the righteous judge appeared To save the meek from wrong and shame, The earth stood still and greatly feared; Then forth from heav'n His sentence came. 3 The wrath of man shall praise the LORD, Restrained by His almighty will; Your vows to God the King record. Your cov'nant made with Him fulfill. 4 Let all to Him their presents bring. To Him whom all the world should fear; You kings and princes, own your King, With rev'rence and with awe draw near.
