In His Keeping

When the ear­ly morn­ing break­ing

Slumber from my eye­lids shak­ing

Comes the bless­èd tho’t with wak­ing

I am in His keep­ing.

Day ad­vanc­es

la­bor bring­ing

Care

her man­tle ’round me fling­ing

Yet midst all my soul keeps sing­ing

I am in His care.

I am in my Fa­ther’s keep­ing

I am in His ten­der care;

Whether wak­ing

whe­ther sleep­ing

I am in His care.

Sometimes dark clouds hang o’er me

Not one step I see be­fore me

Still

my Sav­ior

I ad­ore Thee

I am in His keep­ing.

I can trust His hand to guide me

’Neath His wings He’ll safe­ly hide me

And no harm can e’er be­tide me

I am in His care.

Gentle ev­en­tide is near­ing

Light from heav­en dis­ap­pear­ing

Still the bless­èd tho’t so cheer­ing

I am in His keep­ing.

Now night’s cur­tains ga­ther ’round me

Yet its dan­gers have not found me

For His an­gel guards sur­round me

I am in His care.
