Hymns for Youth ‎#35

35. How Strong and Sweet My Father's Care

1. How strong and sweet my Father's care
That round about me like the air
Is with me always, everywhere!
He cares for me.

2. O keep me ever in thy love,
Dear Father, watching from above;
And as through life my steps shall move,
O care for me.

3. Dear God and Father, let me know
Thy love will guide me where I go;
And let my heart forever glow
With love to thee.
