Precious promise God doth give thee,
  Thou, the weary passerby,
On the way from earth to glory:
  “I will guide thee with Mine eye.”
 
I will guide thee, I will guide thee,
  I will guide thee with Mine eye;
On the way from earth to glory,
    I will guide thee with Mine eye.
2
When temptations fierce assail thee,
  When thy trusted helpers fly,
Let this promise ring within thee,
  “I will guide thee with Mine eye.”
3
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.”
4
When the shades of life are falling,
  And the hour has come to die,
Hear thy faithful Pilot calling,
  “I will guide thee with Mine eye.”

Thanks Christina and Ray for your comments it is truly a hymn about our Christian walk with our maker and what wants to give us for our present and future life.

It's what Jesus came to give us.

I am greatly encouraged by the words of this hymn. I am assured of God's guidance all through my journey in life especially now that my beloved husband has gone to be with the Lord.

When I pray for my sermon this morning, the song by Philip Bliss comes up. I will solo this song which in the sermon and then as an altar call song. Many prophetic words God given in these days are through hymns!

Every time I read through Psalm 32, especially verse 8, I am reminded of this hymn. I sang it as a youth in a duet. It never leaves me. I just needed to see all the verses again today. I am 75 now and it still rings true. Thanks be to God for all His goodness and his Blessings.

Encouraging nd Amazingly, I bless the name of the Lord for his promises that never fail

Revised version:

1. Precious promise God doth give thee,

Thou, the weary passerby,

God has spoken very plainly:

"I will guide thee with Mine eye."

Chorus:

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.
