And oft I walk with craven feet

Upon life's rough and toilsome way;

How sweet to feel, how passing sweet,

Thy watchful presence everywhere!

Care Thou for me! Let me not care!

Care Thou for me! Why should I care,

And looks of gloomy sadness wear,

And fret because I cannot see

(Thy wisdom doth ordain it so)

The path thou hast marked out for me?
