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.
Refrain.--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 perish'd
In the grave of years gone by,
Let this promise still be cherish'd,
"I will guide thee with Mine eye."--REF.
When the shades of life are falling,
And the hour has come to die,
Hear thy trusting Pilot calling,
"I will guide thee with Mine eye."--REF.
