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,

Refrain:
My heav’nly Father watches over me.
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 heavn’ly 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, [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, [Refrain]

4 The valley may be dark, the shadows deep,
But oh, the shepherd guards His lonely sheep;
And through the gloom,
He’ll lead me home, [Refrain]
