1 Go with Thy servant, Lord,
His ev'ry step attend;
All needful help to him afford,
And bless him to the end.

2 Preserve him from all wrong;
Stand Thou at his right hand:
And keep him from the sland'rous tongue
And persecuting band.

3 May he proclaim aloud
The wonders of Thy grace;
And do Thou to the list'ning crowd,
His faithful labors bless.

4 Farewell, dear lab'rer, go;
We part with thee in love;
And if we meet no more below,
O may we meet above.

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >
