Go With Jesus To Thy Task

Author: H. Brueckner Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Go with Jesus to thy task, All on Him dependeth; Jesus, if thou wilt but ask, Strength and courage lendeth. Rise with Him at break of day, Rest in Him while sleeping; Walk with Jesus on thy way, Happy in His keeping. 2 'Tis the proper time to pray When from sleep awaking; Ask Him then to be thy stay In each undertaking; He would guard thee day and night As thy strong Defender, Lest to Satan's guile and might Thou shouldst e'er surrender. 3 So, with Jesus at thy side, Let the foes be raging; He is there, whate'er betide, All thy fears assuaging. Boldly take with Him thy stand, All misgivings banish; Trusting that at His command All thine ills must vanish. 4 If thy task be thus begun With the Savior's blessing, Safely then thy course will run, Naught thy soul distressing. All good fortune will be thine While on earth residing, And for thee God's sun will shine When in heav'n abiding. 5 Now, Lord Jesus, be to Thee All my ways commended; Deal Thou as Thou wilt with me Till my course is ended. To my task I gladly go, In Thy love reposing. Amen, yea, it shall be so, Thus I say in closing.
