Author: Jane Taylor, 1783-1824 Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #94 (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lord, I would own Your tender care
and all Your love I see;
the food I eat, the clothes I wear,
are all Your gift to me.
2 Lord, You preserve my life from death
and dangers every hour;
I cannot draw another breath
unless You give me power.
3 Kind angels guard me every night
as round my bed they stay;
nor am I absent from Your sight
in darkness or by day.
4 My health and friends and parents dear
to me by God are given;
I have not any blessing here
but what is sent from heaven.
5 Such goodness, Lord, and constant care
a child cannot repay;
but may it be my daily prayer
to love You and obey. Topics: God Through the Years His Faithfulness Languages: English Tune Title: NEWBURY
