He Cares for Me (Crosby)

I have a pre­cious

faith­ful guide

A firm

abid­ing friend

Who in His word the pro­mise gives

To help me to the end.

I cast on Him my ev­ery care

Whose eye my heart can see

Though oft I wan­der from His love

I know He cares for me.

He cares for ev­en me

And this my joy shall be

That if He marks the spar­row’s fall

I know He cares for me.

The frag­rant li­lies of the field

He clothes in beau­ty rare

And though they nei­ther toil nor spin

He makes them still His care.

No king on earth

how­ev­er great

Like them ar­rayed can be

And so I learn to trust my Lord

And know He cares for me.

The birds that nei­ther sow nor reap

By Him are dai­ly fed

Who num­bers with un­er­ring glance

The hairs up­on my head.

Within His ev­er­last­ing arms

My soul at peace shall be;

I can­not doubt

be­cause I know

My Sav­ior cares for me.
