Tennessee Ernie Ford - My Task lyrics

To love someone more dearly ev'ry day To help a wand'ring child to find his way To ponder o'er a noble tho't and pray And smile when evening falls And smile when evening falls This is my task To follow truth as blind men long for light To do my best from dawn of day till night To keep my heart fit for His holy sight And answer when He calls And answer when He calls This is my task And then my Savior by and by to meet When faith hath made her task on earth complete And lay my trophies at the Master's feet Within the jasper walls Within the jasper walls This crowns my task
