Angels Keeping Watch

In the daily toil of life with its many cares,
I can bear its heavy cross patiently,
For I’ve one who knows my heart, and its burdens shares,
And His angels keeping watch over me.

Chorus:
Keeping watch, keeping watch,
With His angels keeping watch over me;
I will trust my Lord and King,
Then my soul may gladly sing,
With His angels keeping watch over me.

When the shadows gather round me and sorrows fall,
Till the way my weary soul cannot see,
Then the blest assurance comes, that above it all,
Are His angels keeping watch over me.

In the battle for my King, tho’ the fight be long,
I will look to Him who once died for me;
With His blood my only cry, and His name my song,
And His angels keeping watch over me.

When I reach the river’s flood, even Jordan’s tide,
Then my soul its chilly wave will not flee,
For my Savior and my King will be there to guide,
And His angels keeping watch over me.
