MY FATHER WATCHES OVER ME
1. I trust in God wherever I may be,
Upon the land or on the rolling sea,
For, come what may, from day to
day,
My heav’nly Father watches over
me.
Chorus:
I trust in God, -I know He cares for
me,
On mountain bleak or on the
stormy sea;
Tho’ 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 thru the
pathless air,
And surely He remembers me,-
My heav’nly Father watches over
me.
3. I trust in God, for, in the lion’s den,
On battle field, or in the prison pen,
Thru praise or blame, thru flood or
flame,
My heav’nly Father watches over
me.
4. The valley may be dark, the
shadows deep,
But O, the Shepherd guards His
lonely sheep;
And thru the gloom He’ll lead me
home,
My heav’nly Father watches over
me.
