Did you ever think, dear children,
Of your tender Saviour’s care?
How He watches, guards and keeps you
From the danger everywhere?
He is with you in the morning—
At the dawning of the day;
With you while the hours are passing—
While you work and while you play.
Unseen dangers oft surround you—
Dangers great and dangers small,
But while His strong arms uphold you,
You can never, never fall.
Then, when day at last is fading,
And the twilight shadows fall,
He is with you in the evening
And will hear your faintest call.
Nestled warmly ‘neath the covers,
Little eyes all closed so tight,
Still His care, unceasing, hovers
Fondly o’er you through the night.
Yes, dear children, this kind Saviour
E’er will guard with loving eyes
Till He comes, now soon, to take you
To His home beyond the skies.
I.
