"HE CARETH FOR YOU."

By Marianne Farningham

How strong and sweet my Father's care! The word, like music in the air, Comes answering to my whispered prayer, "He cares for thee."
The thought great wonder with it brings, My cares are all such little things; But to the truth my glad faith clings, He cares for me.
Yet keep me ever in thy love, Dear Father, watching from above, And let me still thy mercy prove, And care for me.
Cast me not off for all my sin, But make me pure and true within, And teach me how thy smile to win Who carest for me.
Oh, still in summer's golden glow, Or wintry storms of wind and snow, Love me, my Father; let me know Thy care for me!
And I will learn to cast the care Which, like a heavy load, I bear Down at thy feet in lowly prayer, And trust in thee.
For naught can hurt me, shade or shine, Nor evil thing touch me or mine; Since thou, with tenderness divine, Dost care for me.
—Marianne Farningham, in Christian World.
