Lyics

YES, 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, in me He dwelleth;

I in Him, and He in me;

And my empty soul He filleth,

Here and through eternity.
