Author: Rev. W. C. Martin Hymnal: The New National Baptist Hymnal (21st Century Edition) #53 (2001) Topics: Trust First Line: I trust in God, wherever I may be Refrain First Line: I trust in God, I know He cares for me Lyrics: 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;
Tho' 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 thru 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,
Thru praise or blame,
Thru 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 thru the gloom
He'll lead me home,
My heav'nly Father watches over me. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [I trust in God wherever I may be]
My Father Watches Over Me
