GOD OUR KEEPER AND SHEPHERD

How Strong and Sweet My Father's Care
(EUDORA. 8,8,8,4)
Anonymous J. R. Murray
 
  1. How strong and sweet my Father's care,
    That round about me, like the air,
    Is with me always, everywhere
    He cares for me.

  2. 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.
