Detail of St Jerome at work in his study by Catena |
My daily labour to pursue
Charles Wesley
Forth in your name, O Lord I go,
My daily labour to pursue,
You, only you, resolved to know
In all I think, or speak or do.
The task your wisdom has assigned
O let me cheerfully fulfil,
In all my works your presence find,
And prove your good and perfect will.
Phillips Brooks
O Lord, do not pray for tasks equal to my strength:
I ask for strength equal to my tasks.
Traditional
O God, give us work
till our life shall end,
and give us life
till our work is done.
