HE CARES FOR ME
I have a precious faithful guide
A firm abiding friend
Who in his \A/ord the promise gives
To help me to the end.
I Cast on him my every care
Whose eyes my heart can see
Tho oft I wander from his love
I know he cares for me
With in his everlasting arms
My soul at peace shall be
I cannot doubt because I know
My father cares for me.
