Lyrics

He car­eth for thee, who­so­ev­er thou art,
Ne’er think that thou canst in His love have no part;
He loved thee while yet lost in sin thou didst roam,
And sent His own Son to lead thee to His home.

Refrain

He car­eth for thee, sure­ly car­eth for thee,
In mer­cy He car­eth for thee.

He watch­es o’er thee ev­ery day, ev­ery hour,
No dan­ger can harm if thou trust in His pow­er;
The voice of thy cry His com­pas­sion will wake,
The soul He has saved He will ne­ver for­sake.

Refrain

Then cast up­on Him all thy bur­den and care;
Oh, why wilt thou still such a wea­ry load bear?
Believe in His love, look to Him for His aid,
And sing, I will trust and will not be afraid.
