Trinity Hymnal ‎#637

637. God, who made the earth

1 God, who made the earth,
The air, the sky, the sea,
Who gave the light its birth,
Careth for me.

2 God who made the grass,
The flow'r, the fruit, the tree,
The day and night to pass,
Careth for me.

3 God who made the sun,
The moon, the stars, is he
Who, when life's clouds come on,
Careth for me.

4 God who made all things,
On earth, in air, in sea,
Who changing seasons brings,
Careth for me.

5 God who sent his Son
To die on Calvary,
He, if I lean on him,
Will care for me.

6 When in heav'n's bright land
I all his loved ones see,
I'll sing with that blest band,
"God cared for me."

Amen.
