Where'er I go, whate'er my task

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #284 (1893) Lyrics: 1 WHERE'ER I go, whate'er my task, The counsel of my God I ask, Who ruleth all things right; Unless He give both thought and deed, The utmost pains can ne'er succeed, And vain must be man's might. 2 For what can all my toil avail? My care, my watching,--all must fail, Unless my God is there; Then let Him order all for me As in His will He shall decree, On God I cast my care. 3 For naught can come, as naught has been, But what my Father has forseen, And what shall work my good; Whate'er He gives me I will take, Whate'er He chooses I will make My choice with thankful mood. 4 I lean upon His mighty arm, Which shieldeth me from every harm And all calamity; If in His precepts I shall live, Whate'er is useful He will give; Nothing can injure me. 5 But only may He of His grace The record of my guilt efface, And wipe out all my debt; Though I have sinned He will not straight Pronounce His judgment, He will wait, Have patience with me yet. 6 I travel to a distant land To serve the post wherein I stand, Which He hath bid me fill; And He will bless me with His light, That I may serve His world aright, And make me know His will. 7 And though through desert wilds I fare, Yet Jesus Christ is with me there, The Lord Himself is near; In all my dangers He will come, And He who kept me safe at home, Can keep me safely here. 8 Yes, He will speed me on my way, And point me where to go and stay, And help me still and lead; Let me in health and safety live, And time and win and weather give, And whatsoe'er I need. 9 His holy angel being near, My enemies I need not fear, For He protects me well; I owe it to my faithful Guide, Who never yet hath left my side, That I in peace may dwell. 10 When late at night my rest I take, When early in the morn I wake, Halting, or on my way, In hours of weakness or in bonds, When vexed with fears my heart desponds, God's Word is e'er my stay. 11 Since then my course is traced by Him, I will not fear that future dim, But go to meet my doom, Well knowing, naught awaits me there Too hard for me through Him to bear; All evil I o'ercome. 12 To Him myself I wholly give, At His command I die or live, I trust His love and power; Whether to-morrow or to-day His summons come, I will obey, He knows the proper hour. 13 But if it please that love most kind, And if this voice within my mind Be whispering not in vain, I yet shall praise my God ere long In many a sweet and joyful song, When in my home again. 14 To those I love will He be near, With his consoling light appear, Who is my Shield and theirs; And He will grant beyond our thought What they and I alike have sought With tears and fervent prayers. 15 Then, O my soul, be ne'er afraid, On Him who thee and all things made With calm reliance rest; Whate'er may come, where'er we go, Our Father in the heavens must know, In all things, what is best.
