Text:He Careth for Thee
Tune:[Voyager o'er life's rough tide]
Composer:J. R. M.

4. He Careth for Thee

1 Voyager o'er life's rough tide,
Cast thy haunting fears aside,
He who walked in Galilee,
Walks as surely by thy side,
Tho' thou canst not hear or see,
He careth for thee.
He careth for thee.

2 Mourner sitting dumb with pain,
Do not murmur or complain,
He by sorrow sorely tried
Shall be crowned with joy again,
'Mong the hosts of purrified.
He careth for thee.
He careth for thee.

3 Toiler in life's dusty ways,
Dragging thro' the weary days,
When the vail is rent in twain,
Thou shalt see with sweet amaze,
Not a stripe was borne in vain.
He careth for thee.
He careth for thee.
