Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 346 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 3:4-16 Lyrics: 1 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.
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 labour 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 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. Topics: Call and Vocation; Discipleship; Dismissal; Stewardship Used With Tune: SONG 34

when temptations come alluring
make us patient and enduring;
show us that bright shore
where we weep no more.

adorned with prayer and love and joy:
so shall your sovereign enter in,
and new and nobler life begin.

for word, and deed, and grace.

my heart to you I open wide.

your grace and love in me reveal;

until our glorious goal is won.

We Sing the Praise of Him Who Died
Author: Thomas Kelly (1769-1855) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 192 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 3:4-16 Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of him who died,
of him who died upon the cross;
the sinner's hope let sin deride;
for this we count the world but loss.
2 Inscribed upon the cross we see
in shining letters, "God is love."
He bears our sins upon the tree;
he brings us mercy from above.
3 The cross -- it takes our guilt away;
it holds the fainting spirit up;
it cheers with hope the gloomy day,
and sweetens every bitter cup;
4 it makes the coward spirit brave,
and nerves the feeble arm for fight;
it takes its terror from the grave,
and gilds the bed of death with light.
5 The balm of life, the cure of woe,
the measure and the pledge of love,
the sinner's refuge here below,
the angels' theme in heaven above. Topics: Holy Week (Good Friday) Used With Tune: BOW BRICKHILL

Another year of proving
Thy presence all the days;
2 Another year of mercies,
Of faithfulness and grace,
Another year of gladness
Before Thy shining face;
Another year of leaning
Upon Thy loving breast,
Another year of trusting,
Of quiet, happy rest.
3 Another year of service,
Of witness for Thy love,
Another year of training
For holier work above.
Another year is dawning,
Dear Father, let it be
On earth, or else in heaven,
Another year for Thee.

Who will place me on his right
with the countless hosts of light?

faith in him who died to save,
him who triumphed o'er the grave,
Jesus Christ, the Crucified.
