God Will Take Care of You
W. Stillman Martin
Be not dismayed what-e’er betide, God will take care of you; Beneath his wings of love abide, God will take care of you. Chorus God will take care of you. Thro’ every day, O’er all the way; He will take care of you. God will take care of you. Thro’ days of toil when heart doth fail, God will take care of you; When dangers fierce your path assail. God will take care of you. (Chorus) All you may need He will provide; God will take care of you; Nothing you ask will be denied, God will take care of you. (Chorus) No matter what may be the test, God will take care of you; Lean, weary one, upon His breast, God will take care of you. (Chorus)
