Lyrics

God will take care of you, be not afraid;
He is your safe­guard through sun­shine and shade;
Tenderly watch­ing and keep­ing His own,
He will not leave you to wan­der alone.

Refrain

God will take care of you still to the end;
Oh, what a Fa­ther, Re­deem­er, and friend!
Jesus will an­swer when­ev­er you call;
He will take care of you, trust Him for all.

God will take care of you, through all the day,
Shielding your foot­steps, di­rect­ing your way;
He is your shep­herd, pro­tect­or, and guide,
Leading His child­ren where still wa­ters glide.

Refrain

God will take care of you long as you live,
Granting you bless­ings no oth­er can give;
He will take care of you when time is past,
Safe to His king­dom will bring you at last.
