Author: Katharyn Bacon Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12206 First Line: When I am far from friends and home Refrain First Line: He watches o’er me day and night Lyrics: 1 When I am far from friends and home, Upon the land, or sea, My Savior’s near, whate’er may come, I know He cares for me. Refrain: He watches o’er me day and night, He makes my many burdens light, I know my Savior cares for me. Whene’er I call, He hears my cry, And wholly on Him I rely— I know my Savior cares for me! 2 Upon the cross, in wondrous love, He died, from sin to free, And now prepares my home above, I know He cares for me. [Refrain] 3 The darkest clouds may o’er me roll, Undaunted I shall be; My faithful friend will keep my soul, I know He cares for me. [Refrain] 4 I’ll sing His praise with heart and voice, Now, and eternally; And in His strength and love rejoice, I know He cares for me. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [When I am far from friends and home]
