He loves me! let me trust His care,
In nothing be afraid,
My daily burdens He will share,
His strength shall be my aid.
Chorus:
He cares, He hears,
He guards His own;
Then let me trust His love,
For daily is His kindness shown,
His grace I ever prove.
He hears me! feeble tho’ my cry;
I know ‘tis not in vain;
For on His promise I rely;
My soul He will sustain.
He guards me! tho’ my foes increase,
And griefs shall cloud my life.
His own may know His perfect peace,
Amid the daily strife.
