'I have set the Lord always before me: because He is at my right hand, I shall My daily labour to pursue, Thee, only Thee, resolved to know 2 The task Thy wisdom hath assigned 3 In all my works Thy presence find, Thee may I set at my right hand, Whose eyes mine inmost substance see, And offer all my works to Thee. 4 Give me to bear Thy easy yoke, And every moment watch and pray, And hasten to Thy glorious day; mf 5 For Thee delightfully employ Whate'er Thy bounteous grace hath given, And run my course with even joy, And closely walk with Thee to heaven. By day, by night, at home, abroad, I would be still with Thee: 3 mp 4 5 d m 6 m 2 With Thee when dawn comes in With Thee amid the crowd To hear Thy voice, where Time's is loud, With Thee when day is done, And evening calms the mind: The setting as the rising sun With Thee my heart would find. With Thee when darkness brings Calm in the shadow of Thy wings, With Thee, in Thee, by faith, By day, by night, in life, in death, The grave as little as my bed; To die, that this vile body may mf Rise glorious at the awful day. m 40 may my soul on Thee repose, And may sweet sleep mine eyelids close,-- mp 5 When in the night I sleepless lie, My soul with heavenly thoughts supply; f 6 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. |
