Hymn For Today

When all Thy mercies O my God My rising soul surveys Transported with the view, I’m lost In wonder, love and praise Unnumbered comforts to my soul Thy tender care bestowed Before my infant heart conceived From Whom those comforts flowed When in the slippery paths of youth With heedless steps I ran Thine Arm unseen conveyed me safe And led me up to man Ten thousand thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ And not the least a cheerful heart Which tastes those gifts with joy Through every period of my life Thy goodness I’ll pursue And after death in distant worlds The glorious theme renew Through all eternity to Thee A joyful song I’ll raise For O eternity’s too short To utter all Thy praise

Hymn For Today

Forth in Thy Name O Lord I go My daily labour to pursue Thee only Thee resolved to know In all I think or speak or do 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 Thee may I set at my right hand Whose Eyes my inmost substance see And labour on at Thy Command And offer my works to Thee 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 For Thee delightfully employ What’er Thy bounteous grace hath given And run my course with even joy And closely walk with Thee to heaven
