1. I’m not alone for God is near,
His presence all my way doth cheer;
I’ll sing His love, there’s naught to fear,
He watches over me.
Chorus:
God watches over me,
(God watches over,)
God watches over me,
(God watches over,)
And He slumbers not nor sleeps,
(And slumbers not nor sleeps, nor sleeps,)
Slumbers not nor sleeps;
(Slumbers not, nor sleeps, nor sleeps;)
And He slumbers not or sleeps,
(And He slumbers not nor sleeps, nor sleeps,)
Slumbers not nor sleeps.
(Slumbers not nor sleeps.)
2. Sometimes, so bright and sweet the day,
I seem to see so clear my way;
‘Tis easy then for me to say,
He watches over me.
3. Sometimes the trials dark appall,
But still I know He’s over all,
And e’er will hear my faintest call;
He watches over me.
4. Whate’er my path, whate’er my way,
E’en tho’ I catch no guiding ray,
I’ll put my hand in His and say,
He watches over me.
