646. With The Lord Thy Task Begin

1 With the Lord thy task begin:
Childlike faith in Him possessing,
Prospered only by His blessing,
Fight all sinful pride within:
With the Lord thy task begin,
With the Lord thy task begin.

2 With the Lord thy task begin:
Choosing Him to rule and guide thee;
Whether good or ill betide thee,
Thou art sure thy goal to win:
With the Lord thy task begin,
With the Lord thy task begin.

3 With the Lord thy task begin:
Courage He, thy Helper, lendeth;
Well the earthly labor endeth,
Wrought in God, and not in sin:
With the Lord thy task begin,
With the Lord thy task begin.
