Amid the trials which I meet,

Amid the thorns that pierce my feet,

One thought remains supremely sweet,

Thou thinkest, Lord, of me!

CHO.--Thou thinkest, Lord, of me,

Thou thinkest, Lord, of me,

What need I fear when thou art near,

And thinkest, Lord, of me.

2 The cares of life come thronging fast

Upon my soul their shadow cast;
