Hewitt Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11822 Meter: 10.10.12.10 First Line: God will take care of me; here I will rest Lyrics: 1 God will take care of me; here I will rest, Trusting His promise true, safe on His breast. Changeful may be my lot, His mercy changeth not; No child of His forgot, in Jesus, blest. 2 God will take care of me, hushing my fear; When dangers ’round I see, His voice I hear; Then let my soul be brave, high though the wind and wave, Greater His power to save, tenderly near. 3 God will take care of me, holding the helm; Storms that may sweep the sea will not o’erwhelm. Soon, every billow passed, I shall my anchor cast, Safe, safe at home at last, in joy’s bright realm. Languages: English Tune Title: CROYDON
