6. With the Lord thy task begin

1 With the Lord thy task begin:
Childlike faith in Him possessing,
Look thou only for His blessing,
Humbly saying thus within:
With the Lord thy task begin,
With the Lord thy task begin.

2 With the Lord thy task begin:
Him for thy true Leader taking,
Nevermore his ways forsaking,
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
Happily thy labor endeth,
Wrought in God, and not in sin:
With the Lord thy task begin
With the Lord thy task begin.
