Ceaseless watcheth, night and day;

Yes, e’en me, e’en me he snatcheth

From the perils of the way.

3 Yes, for me he standeth pleading

At the mercy-seat above;

Ever for me interceding,

Constant in untiring love.

4 Yes, in me abroad he sheddeth

Joys unearthly, love and light;

And to cover me he spreadeth
