How shall He keep thee?
In His own pavilion hiding:
In His precious love abiding,
Where no earthly care can reach thee,
Where the Lord Himself can teach thee,
Precious lessons yet unknown,
Taught thee by Himself alone.
How shall He keep thee?
With the all-covering shadow of His wings;
With the strong love that guards from evil things;
With the sure power that safe to glory brings,
Thus may He keep thee!
