Lyrics

I fear the foe no more,
My doubts and fears are o’er,
For ev­ery day, along life’s way,
I walk se­cure and free.
My Sav­ior and my friend,
On whom I can de­pend,
He chang­es not, whate’er my lot,
And al­ways cares for me.

Refrain

He cares for me, so true is He;
He’ll be my friend till life shall end,
And al­ways cares for me.

He is a faith­ful guide,
Who ne­ver leaves my side,
His love the light that breaks the night,
And bids the sha­dows flee.
Tho’ stor­my bil­lows roll,
They can­not reach my soul,
For He who knows will soothe my woes,
And al­ways cares for me.

Refrain

When time shall be no more,
And sor­row’s night is o’er,
What joy di­vine, what rap­ture mine,
When I that land shall see!
And with the saints pass in
Beyond the reach of sin,
Saved by His grace, I’ll see the face
Of Him who cares for me.
