“GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU!”
Proverbs 3:5-6
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”
When we graduated from high school in 1952, our class voted this hymn to be our class hymn to take with us. My dear wife Joyce always would brighten up when she heard the hymn and remind me it was our class hymn.
I confess I did not know the story behind the hymn until I did a little investigation for this week’s hymn. The words were composed by Civilia Martin and the music by her husband W. Stillman Martin. One Sunday afternoon Civilia was ill and her husband was on a preaching assignment. She composed the words and when her husband returned he immediately sat at his organ and wrote the music.
This song is credited for transforming the life of James Cash Penney, founder of the American department store chain J. C. Penney. He heard it one morning in the chapel of the Kellogg Sanitarium in Battle Creek, Michigan, where he had been hospitalized with a severe case of shingles, as well as exhaustion and depression.
“GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU!”
1. Be not dismayed whate'er betide, God will take care of you;
beneath his wings of love abide, God will take care of you.
Refrain: God will take care of you, through every day, o'er all the way;
he will take care of you, God will take care of you.
beneath his wings of love abide, God will take care of you.
Refrain: God will take care of you, through every day, o'er all the way;
he will take care of you, God will take care of you.
2. Through days of toil when heart doth fail, God will take care of you;
when dangers fierce your path assail, God will take care of you.
when dangers fierce your path assail, God will take care of you.
Refrain: God will take care of you, through every day, o'er all the way;
he will take care of you, God will take care of you.
he will take care of you, God will take care of you.
3. All you may need he will provide, God will take care of you;
Nothing you ask will be denied, God will take care of you.
Refrain: God will take care of you, through every day, o'er all the way;
he will take care of you, God will take care of you.
Nothing you ask will be denied, God will take care of you.
Refrain: God will take care of you, through every day, o'er all the way;
he will take care of you, God will take care of you.
4. No matter what may be the test, God will take care of you;
Lean, weary one, upon his breast, God will take care of you.
Lean, weary one, upon his breast, God will take care of you.
Refrain: God will take care of you, through every day, o'er all the way;
he will take care of you, God will take care of you.
