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, e'en me, e'en 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.
