1 From day to day I need the tender care
Of Him, who always notes the sparrow’s fall;
And, oh, how sweet it is for me to feel
That He will hear me when to Him I call.
Refrain:
I need my Father’s care, I need his tender care,
For oft my weary way grows rough and dim;
But love divine I know, will never, never fail,
And it is sweet to trust in him.
2 More valued in my Father’s loving sight
I know this life of mine must surely be,
Than is the bird or flow’r so small and frail;
Then will he not in love remember me? [Refrain]
3 I need his care and I will ever claim
In faith the help each day and hour demands,
Whate’er the span of life to me may bring,
I gladly leave it in my Father’s hands. [Refrain]
