My daily labor to pursue,
You, only you, resolved to know
In all I think or speak or do.
2 The task your wisdom has assigned,
Oh, let me cheerfully fulfill;
In all my works your presence find
And prove your good and perfect will.
3 You may I find at my right hand,
Whose eyes see truly what I do,
And labor on at your command
And offer all my works to you.
4 Give me to bear your easy yoke
And ev'ry moment watch and pray
And still to things eternal look
And hasten to your glorious day.
5 For you I joyously employ
Whatever you in grace have giv'n;
I run my course with even joy,
And closely walk with you to heav'n. Topics: Love and Obedience; Work, Daily Used With Tune: LAKEWOOD
