- How strong and sweet my Father's care,
That round about me, like the air,
Is with me always, everywhere
He cares for me.
O keep me ever in thy love,
Dear Father, watching from above;
And let me still thy mercy prove,
And care for me.
A-men.

Unison psalm (Psalm 121)
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills:
From whence cometh my help ?
My help cometh from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved:
He that keepeth thee will not slumber.
Behold, he that keepeth Israel
Will neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord is thy keeper:
The Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
The sun shall not smite thee by day,
Nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep thee from all evil;
He will keep thy soul.
The Lord will keep thy going out and thy coming in
From this time forth and for evermore.
Hymn Response How Strong and Sweet (Second stanza)
O keep me ever in thy love,
Dear Father, watching from above;
And let me still thy mercy prove,
And care for me. Amen.
