Pioneer Life in Illinois

by F. M. Perryman

I know He full salvation gives,

I know He sets me free.

Why should I murmer or repine,

While on life’s stormy sea;

Since God is with me all the time,

And Jesus cares for me.

Even in a dark and stormy night

Though threatening clouds I see;

This thought brings comfort and delight

That Jesus cares for me.
