Whun ye’re strachalin tae cope and ye hinnae ony hope
An ye dinnae ken ye’re gan tae mak it through
Whun ye cannae carry on, there’s Yin tae lean upon
He’s yer Faither an He’ll tak guid care o you

Chorus:
He’ll gie ye aa ye need, ye’ll hae yer daily bried
Ye’ll no be wantin’ for a shilln or two
Ye’ll hae muckle an tae spare, dinnae fret an dinnae fear
He’s yer Faither an He’ll tak guid care o you

Whun the days are lang an dreich an ye’re scunnert tae the teeth
An there’s naebody aroon tae comfort you
Whun ye’re aa yer life alane, ye’re niver on yer ain
He’s yer Faither an He’ll tak guid care o you

At the dawnin’ o’ the day, afore ye gan upon yer way
Tak’ the time tae gie the Lord His due
For all that He has daen, an’ His favours aye tae come
He’s yer Faither an He’ll tak guid care o you
