When I am far from friends and home
Upon the land
or sea
My Savior’s near
whate’er may come
I know He cares for me.
He watches o’er me day and night
He makes my many burdens light
I know my Savior cares for me.
Whene’er I call
He hears my cry
And wholly on Him I rely—
I know my Savior cares for me!
Upon the cross
in wondrous love
He died
from sin to free
And now prepares my home above
I know He cares for me.
The darkest clouds may o’er me roll
Undaunted I shall be;
My faithful friend will keep my soul
I know He cares for me.
I’ll sing His praise with heart and voice
Now
and eternally;
And in His strength and love rejoice
I know He cares for me.
