When I am far from friends and home,
Upon the land, or sea,
My Sav­ior’s near, what­e’er may come,
I know He cares for me.

Refrain

He watch­es o’er me day and night,
He makes my ma­ny burdens light,
I know my Sav­ior cares for me.
Whene’er I call, He hears my cry,
And whol­ly on Him I rely—
I know my Sav­ior cares for me!

Upon the cross, in won­drous love,
He died, from sin to free,
And now pre­pares my home above,
I know He cares for me.

Refrain

The dark­est clouds may o’er me roll,
Undaunted I shall be;
My faith­ful friend will keep my soul,
I know He cares for me.

Refrain

I’ll sing His praise with heart and voice,
Now, and eter­nal­ly;
And in His strength and love re­joice,
I know He cares for me.
