LyicsYes, for me, for me he careth
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, ev'n me, ev'n 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,
Yes, in me abroad he sheddeth
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.
Thus I wait for his returning.
Singing all the way to heaven:
Such the joyful song of morning,
Such the tranquil song of even.
