HE – original lyrics

He can turn the tides and calm the angry sea
He alone decides who writes a symphony
He lights ev'ry star that makes our darkness bright
He keeps watch all through each long and lonely night.

He still finds the time to hear a child's first prayer
Saint or sinner call and always find Him there
Though it makes Him sad to see the way we live
He'll always say, "I forgive."

The original version was recorded on 6 july 1955 by Al Hibbler (Decca 29660).
This version starts with the two verses as mentioned above.

There’s probably an older version recorded in february 1955 by Blackwood Brothers Quartet
(Blackwood Bros 1188). This version is not available.
