Lyrics

How strong and sweet my Fa­ther’s care,
That round about me, like the air,
Is with me al­ways, ev­ery­where!
He cares for me!

The thought great won­der with it brings,
My cares are all such lit­tle things,
But to the truth my glad heart clings,
He cares for me!

O keep me ev­er in Thy love,
Dear Fa­ther, watch­ing from above,
And as through life my steps shall move,
O care for me.
