This song has blessed me for years. When I was in Bible College, one of the voice professors would sing this. Her voice was incredibly beautiful. I got chills listening to her.

Unfortunately, I can’t bring you a beautiful recording of this lovely song, but at least you can hear the melody here.

**I had to laugh. After I posted this, I found a playlist on Rhapsody. So take your pick. It goes from Southern Gospel to swing but it’s all the same song. A little nicer than the first link I posted, nothing near my favorite voice professor’s rendition though.

Rhapsody list here

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 heav’nly Father watches over me.

Chorus
I trust in God, I know He cares for me,
On mountain bleak or on the stormy sea;
Tho’ billows roll, He keeps my soul,
My heavn’ly Father watches over me.

2.
He makes the rose an object of His care,
He guides the eagle thru the pathless air,
And surely He remembers me,
My heav’nly Father watches over me.

Chorus

3.
I trust in God, for in the the lion’s den,
On battlefield, or in the prison pen,
Thru praise or blame, thru flood or flame,
My heav’nly Father watches over me.

Chorus

4.
The valley may be dark, the shadows deep
But O, The Shepherd guards His lonely sheep;
And thru the gloom, He’ll lead me home
My heav’nly Father watches over me.

Chorus

Words by W.C. Martin, Lyrics by Charles Gabriel.
