Hymn
For Me He Careth
Yes, for me, for me he careth
With a brother's tender care;
Yes, with me, with me he shareth
Every burden, every fear.
Yes, for me he standeth pleading
At the mercy-seat above,
Ever for me interceeding,
Constant in untiring love.
Yes, in me abroad he shedeth
Joys unearthly, love and light;
And to cover me he spreadeth
His paternal wing of might.
Yes, in me, in me he dwelleth,
I in him, and he in me;
And my empty soul he filleth
Here and through eternity.
Thus I wait for his returning,
Singing all the way to heaven;
Such the joyful song of morning,
Such the tranquil song of even.
