1. Yes, for me, for me He careth With a brother's tender care; Yes, with me, with me He shareth Ev'ry burden, ev'ry fear. Yes, o'er me, o'er me He watcheth, Ceaseless watcheth, night and day; Yes, e'en me, e'en me He snatcheth From the perils of the way. 2. Yes, for me He standeth pleading At the merecy-seat above; Ever for me interceding, Constant in untiring love. Yes, in me, in me He dwelleth; I in Him, and He in me! And my empty soul He filleth, Here and thro' eternity.
