Text: | My Father Watches Over Me |
Author: | Rev. W. C. Martin |
Tune: | [I trust in God wherever I may be] |
Composer: | Charles H. Gabriel |
1 I trust in God wherever I may be,
Upon the land or on the rolling sea,
For, come what may,
From day to day,
My heav'nly Father watches over me.
Refrain:
I trust in God, I know He cares for me,
On mountain bleak or on the stormy sea;
Though billows roll, He keeps my soul,
My heav'nly Father watches over me.
2 He makes the rose an object of His care,
He guides the eagle through the pathless air,
And surely He
Remembers me,
My heav'nly Father watches over me. [Refrain]
3 I trust in God, for, in the lion's den,
On battlefield, or in the prison pen,
Through praise or blame,
Through flood or flame,
My heav'nly Father watches over me. [Refrain]
4 The valley may be dark, the shadows deep,
But O, the Shepherd guards His lonely sheep;
And through the gloom
He'll lead me home,
My heav'nly Father watches over me. [Refrain]
