For Me He Careth

 
1 

Yes, for me, for me he careth

With loving tender care;

Yes, with me, with me he shareth

Each burden, and each fear.

Yes, o'er me, o'er me he watcheth,

Ceaseless watcheth, night and day;

Yes, e'en me, e'en me he snatcheth

From the perils of the way.

2 

Yes, for me, he standeth pleading

At mercy's seat above;

Ever for me interceding,

In love, untiring love.

Yes, in me abroad he sheddeth

Joys unearthly, love and light;

And to cover me he spreadeth

His loving wings of might.

3

Yes, in me, in me he dwelleth!

In me and I in him.

And my soul with hope he filleth,

Tho' future plans are dim.

Thus I wait for his returning,

Singing all the way to heav'n;

Such the joyful song of morning,

Such tranquil song of ev'n.

1 Peter 5: 7

Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
