God's Care

Representative Text

1 I see you, little blossoms,
So modest, pure and sweet,
Now hiding 'mong the grasses green
That tremble at my feet;
I seem to read on your petals,
That glisten in the dew,
"God cares for me, O little one,
and He will care for you."

Chorus:
Oh, trust, trust in God,
Trust Him all the day long thro',
For He who cares for the birds and flow'rs,
Will surely care for you.

2 I hear you, little robins,
Out in the maple tree,
Singing your happy song of spring,
As blithe as blithe can be;
I seem to hear in your glad notes,
That ring so clear and sweet,
"God cares for all the great round world,
And O He cares for thee." [Chorus]

3 O happy little robin,
And blossom, nestling low,
I learn of you the lesson sweet,
That God would have me know,
That, tho' the day may be sunny,
Or dark the clouds may be,
The Lord who cares for the birds and flow'rs
Will surely care for me. [Chorus]
