H. Bonar (148/413) -- Hymns and Spiritual Songs

H. Bonar YES, for me, for me He careth, With a brother’s tender care; Yes, with me, with me He shareth Every burden, every fear. 2 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. 3 Yes, for me He standeth pleading At the mercy-seat above; Ever for me interceding, Constant in untiring love. 4 Yes, in me abroad He sheddeth Joys unearthly, love and light; And to cover me He spreadeth His paternal wing of might. 5 Yes, in me, in me He dwelleth, I in Him, and He in me; And my empty soul He filleth, Here and through eternity. 6 Thus I wait for His returning, Singing all the way to heaven; Such the joyful song of morning, Such the tranquil song of even.
