Precious promise God doth give thee,
  Thou, the weary passerby,
God has spoken very plainly:
  “I will guide thee with Mine eye.”
 
I will guide thee, I will guide thee,
  I will guide thee with Mine eye;
What sweet, precious promise giv’n me:
  I will guide thee with Mine eye.
2
When thy heart is badly shaken,
  Doubts arise, and fainting’s nigh,
Take His promise, thy solution:
  “I will guide thee with Mine eye.”
3
When temptations fierce assail thee,
  When thy trusted helpers fly,
Thy heart bolster with this surety:
  “I will guide thee with Mine eye.”
4
When thy secret hopes have perished
  In the grave of years gone by,
Still God’s promise strength avails thee:
  “I will guide thee with Mine eye.”
5
When the shades of life are falling,
And the hour has come to die,
He’ll e’en more affirm His calling:
“I will guide thee with Mine eye.”
6
May God be thy spirit’s gladness,
Thy heart’s treasure, the Most High;
Fellowship, in utmost closeness,
In the guidance of His eye.
