My Father Watches over Me

I trust in God wher­ev­er I may be

Upon the land

or on the roll­ing sea

For come what may

from day to day

My heav’n­ly Fa­ther watch­es ov­er me.

I trust in God

I know He cares for me;

On mount­ain bleak or on the stor­my sea;

Tho’ bil­lows roll

He keeps my soul;

My heav’nly Fa­ther watch­es ov­er me.

He makes the rose an ob­ject of His care

He guides the ea­gle thro’ the path­less air

And sure­ly He re­mem­bers me;

My heav’n­ly Fa­ther watch­es ov­er me.

I trust in God

for

in the li­on’s den

On bat­tlefield

or in the pri­son pen

Thro’ praise or blame

thro’ flood or flame

My heav’n­ly Fa­ther watch­es ov­er me.

The val­ley may be dark

the sha­dows deep

But O

the Shep­herd guards His lone­ly sheep;

And thro’ the gloom He’ll lead me home

My heav’n­ly Fa­ther watch­es ov­er me.
