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.
