Through daily cares and dangers
  When care weighs on my soul;
 When friends misunderstand me
And sorrow takes it's toll;

   When sin comes in to plague me;
  When sickness weighs me down;
 When the joy of Christ eludes me
And it's easier to frown;

   When even trifles stun me,
  Or in times of deepest grief,
 There's one who always knows my need
And how to bring relief.

   He understands my sorrow,
  He knows my every care;
 In my darkest hour, what e'er it be,
My Lord is waiting there.

   He is my Rock, my mighty fortress,
  He's my shield, my tower high;
 He's the Horn of my salvation
And He'll keep me ever nigh!
