11822. God Will Take Care Of Me

1 God will take care of me; here I will rest,
Trusting His promise true, safe on His breast.
Changeful may be my lot, His mercy changeth not;
No child of His forgot, in Jesus, blest.

2 God will take care of me, hushing my fear;
When dangers ’round I see, His voice I hear;
Then let my soul be brave, high though the wind and wave,
Greater His power to save, tenderly near.

3 God will take care of me, holding the helm;
Storms that may sweep the sea will not o’erwhelm.
Soon, every billow passed, I shall my anchor cast,
Safe, safe at home at last, in joy’s bright realm.
