My Heavenly Father Watches Over Me Lyrics
1 I trust in God wherever I may be,
Upon the land or on the rolling sea;
For come what may, from day to day,
My heavenly Father watches over me.
Refrain:
I trust in God, I know he cares for me,
On mountain bleak or on the stormy sea;
Though billows roll, he keeps my soul,
My heavenly Father watches over me.
2 He makes the rose an object of his care,
He guides the eagle through the pathless air;
And surely he remembers me,
My heavenly Father watches over me. [Refrain]
3 I trust in God, for, in the lion’s den,
On battlefield, or in the prison pen;
Through praise or blame, through flood or flame,
My heavenly Father watches over me. [Refrain]
4 The valley may be dark, the shadows deep,
But oh, the shepherd guards his lonely sheep;
And through the gloom, he’ll lead me home,
My heavenly Father watches over me. [Refrain]
My Heavenly Father Watches Over Me Hymn Story
“My Heavenly Father Watches Over Me” is a Christian hymn that was composed by Reverend William Clark Martin.
This song is a celebration of our heavenly father’s care over us. We are so special to him that he keeps watch over us all the time.
He not only cares about human beings but all creatures. If he cares for birds like eagles who are not created in his image, then he most definitely cares and watches over us too.
This understanding should bring peace to our troubled hearts.
William Clark Martin was born in 1864 in New Jersey. He was a minister of the gospel of the Baptist church. He ministered in various congregations in the United States.
During this time, he wrote several hymns.
