| Text: | Can it Be? |
| Author: | Jessie Brown Pounds |
| Tune: | [Can it be that our Father in heaven] |
| Composer: | Henry P. Morton |
1 Can it be that our Father in heaven
Remembers a creature like me,
He who marshals the stars in their courses,
And measures the bounds of the sea?
Refrain:
He who watches the flight of the song-bird
O’er mountain and desert and wild,
He who watches the flight of the song-bird,
Will care for the soul of His child.
2 Can it be that He watches my struggle,
And helps when temptation is near?
Can it be that He cares for my sorrow?
My faltering pray’r can He hear? [Refrain]
3 Can it be that such pow’r and such pity
Are linked in the Helper divine?
Can it be that thro’ infinite mercy,
This infinite Helper is mine? [Refrain]
