1 I trust in God wherever I may be,
upon the land or on the stormy 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.
Though 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 through 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,
through praise or blame, through flood or flame,
my heav'nly Father watches over me. [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,
my heav'nly Father watches over me. [Refrain]
