He Careth for Me

Jesus, my Savior, is precious to me,
He careth for me;
Loving and keeping me happy and free,
He careth for me.

Refrain

He careth for me, He careth for me,
He loves and He keeps me,
I’m happy and free.
He careth for me, He careth for me,
He loves and He keeps me,
He careth for me.

Tho’ storms and tempests may break o’er my soul,
He careth for me;
Safely I’m kept under Jesus’ control,
He careth for me.

Refrain

When I am tempted and wander astray,
He careth for me;
When I grow weary and faint by the way,
He careth for me.

Refrain

Tho’ my path leads me where dangers betide,
He careth for me;
Still He is with me, my Shield and my Guide,
He careth for me.

Refrain
