Hymn 506 O Lord Thou Art in Me as Life

Representative Text

1 Forth in your name, O Lord, I go,
my daily labor to pursue,
determined merely you lot to know
in all I think or speak or practise.

ii The chore your wisdom has assigned,
O permit me cheerfully fulfill;
in all my works your presence notice,
and prove your practiced and perfect will.

3 May I find you at my correct hand;
your optics see truly what I practise.
I 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 notwithstanding to things eternal look,
and hasten to your glorious day.

5 For you lot I joyously utilise
whate'er you lot in grace have giv'n:
I run my daily class with joy
and closely walk with you to heav'n.

In 1716 he went to Westminster School, being provided with a home and lath past his elderberry blood brother Samuel, then usher at the schoolhouse, until 1721, when he was elected Male monarch'south Scholar, and as such received his board and education free.

Charles Wesley (PHH 267) wrote the text of this hymn and published information technology in Hymns and Sacred Poems (1749) as a hymn "for believers." Information technology was entitled "Before Work."

The hymn originally had six stanzas. Post-obit John Wesley's example in his Drove (1780), most modernistic hymnals, including the Psalter Hymnal, omit the original stanza 3.

Recognizing the significance of daily work for the Christian, Charles Wesley wrote and sang hymns not only for Sunday but also for daily use. The text of this hymn reflects Wesley'due south views about piece of work: we are to practice our work in the proper noun of the Lord (st. 1); God calls united states of america to our work in obedience to his volition (st. 2); we may offer all our piece of work to God (st. 3); as nosotros journey from this life to glory, we may e'er view our piece of work as part of the coming of God's kingdom (st. 4); we may gratefully utilize all God's gifts for his celebrity (st. 5).

Liturgical Employ:
Shut of worship; worship services in which labor is stressed (Labor 24-hour interval Lord's day); springtime prayer services for crops and industry; New Year's Day; ordination; profession of faith; commissioning services; when used during the Easter flavor, substitute an "Alleluia" for the last "Amen."

=====================
Forth in Thy Proper noun, O Lord, I go. C. Wesley. [Morning time.] Outset published in Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1749, vol. i. p. 246. "For Believers Before Work," No. 144, in 6 stanzas of four lines. It was included in the Wesleyan Hymn Book, in 1780, with the omission of stanza iii. It has come into most extensive utilise both in Great Britain and America. In mutual with many of the older hymns it has undergone alterations at diverse hands. The line which has given the greatest trouble to the compilers is, "And prove Thy acceptable will." This has undergone many changes, only that given in the Leeds Hymn Book, in 1853, "And prove Thy good and perfect will," has been received by mutual consent as the best and most musical reading. Original text, Poetical Works, 1868-72, vol. 5. p. fifty. The doxology in Hymns Ancient & Modern and another collections is not in the original. In 1767, R. Conyers gave information technology in his Collection as "Along in Thy strength, O Lord, we become," merely this alteration has passed out of utilise.
