LyicsPRECIOUS promise God hath given
To the weary passer-by,
On the way from earth to heaven,
"I will guide thee with mine eye."
REF.-I will guide thee, I will guide thee,
I will guide thee with mine eye;
On the way from earth to heaven
I will guide thee with mine eye.
When temptations almost win thee,
And thy trusted watchers fly,
Let this promise ring within thee,
"I will guide thee with mine eye."-REF.
When thy secret hopes have perished
In the grave of years gone by,
Let this promise still be cherished.
"I will guide thee with mine eye."-REF.
When the shades of life are falling,
And the hour has come to die,
Hear thy trusty Pilot calling,
"I will guide thee with mine eyes."-REF.
