Representative Text

1 Jesus will care for me,
No matter how weak I may be;
A friend I have found,
Whose love will abound,
I know He will care for me.

2 Jesus will comfort me,
And make all my sorrowing flee;
To Him will I cling,
My Saviour and King,
And Jesus will comfort me.

3 Jesus will shelter me,
When I from the danger may flee;
The storm-clouds that roll,
Cannot harm my soul,
For Jesus will shelter me.
