Yes, for me, for me He careth
With a brother's tender care
Yes, with me, with me He shareth
Ev'ry burden, ev'ry fear
Yes, o'er me, o'er me He watcheth
Ceaseless watcheth night and day
Yes e'en me, e'en me He snatcheth
From the perils of the way
Yes, for me, He standeth pleading
At the mercyseat above
Ever for me interceding
Constant in untiring love
Yes, in me abroad He sheddeth
Joys unearthly, love and light
And to cover me He spreadeth
His paternal wings of might
| |
Yes, in me, in me He dwelleth
I in Him, and He in me
And my empty soul He filleth
Here and thro' eternity
Thus I wait for His returning
Singing all the way to heav'n
Such the joyful song of morning
Such the tranquil song of ev'n
