Lyr Add: He Never Sleeps

This appears on the Park New Choir website among their spirituals. It's awful pretty. You can hear it HERE.

Anyone have source info or more verses? I don't see it listed in my index of songbooks contents.

=================================================================

HE NEVER SLEEPS      

He never sleeps He never slumbers
He watches me both night and day
He never sleeps, He never slumbers
The reason I know, He told me so

I don't have to worry, My soul's in His care
I don't have to worry, He'll always be there
I know that He's watching wherever I go
I know that He's watching, He told me so
