Lyics

Where'er I rest, where'er I rove,

On solid earth, or faithless sea,

The promise fills my soul with peace:

God cares for me, God cares for me.



The various tribes of earth and air,

Fed by his bounteous hand I see;

This care the blest assurance gives,

God cares for me, God cares for me.



The pestilence may walk abroad,

Yet, O my God, I trust in thee;

This plague may waste, I fear it not;

God cares for me, God cares for me.



When death is nigh, I will not fear

That I shall then forsaken be;

The gracious promise still is mine,

God cares for me, God cares for me.



And though I slumber in the grave,

Not then shall I forgotten be:

The resurrection will prove

God cares for me, God cares for me.
