I care not today what the morrow may bring,
If cloudy or sunshine or rain...
The Lord I know ruleth o'er everything,
And all of my worry is vain.
 
Living by faith in Jesus above
Trusting, confiding in his great love;
From all harm safe in His sheltering arm
I'm living by faith, and I feel no alarm.

Though tempests may blow and the storm clouds arise
Obscuring the brightness of life
I'm never alarmed at the overcast skies--
The Master looks on at the strife.
 
I know that He safely will carry me through,
No matter what evils betide;
Why should I then care though the tempest may blow
If Jesus walks close to my side.

Our Lord will return for His loved ones some day,
Our troubles will then all be o'er;
The Master so gently will lead us away,
Beyond that blest heavenly shore.


Classic hymn.
