THE CARE OF JESUS.
Casting all your care upon him for he careth for you.
—1 Pet. v. 7.
Yes, for me, for me he careth
With a brother's tender care:
Yes, with me, with me he shareth
Every burden every fear.
With a brother's tender care:
Yes, with me, with me he shareth
Every burden every fear.
Yes, o'er me, o'er me he watcheth—
Ceaseless watcheth, night and day:
Yes, even me, even me, he snatcheth
From the perils of the way.
Ceaseless watcheth, night and day:
Yes, even me, even me, he snatcheth
From the perils of the way.
Yes, for me he standeth pleading,
At the mercy-seat above;
Ever for me interceding,
Constant in untiring love.
At the mercy-seat above;
Ever for me interceding,
Constant in untiring love.
23
Yes, in me abroad he sheddeth
Joys unearthly,—love and light;
And to cover me he spreadeth
His paternal wing of might.
Joys unearthly,—love and light;
And to cover me he spreadeth
His paternal wing of might.
Yes, in me, in me he dwelleth;—
I in him, and he in me!
And my empty soul he filleth,
Here and through eternity.
I in him, and he in me!
And my empty soul he filleth,
Here and through eternity.
Thus I wait for his returning,
Singing all the way to heaven;
Such the joyful song of morning,
Such the tranquil song of ev'n.
Singing all the way to heaven;
Such the joyful song of morning,
Such the tranquil song of ev'n.
