Village Hymns

C.M.

THE eye of God is everywhere,

To watch the sinner’s ways;

He sees who joins in humble prayer,

And who in solemn praise.

2

One glance of Thine, eternal Lord,

Can pierce and search us through;

Nor heaven, nor earth, nor hell afford

A shelter from Thy view!

3

The universe, in every part,

At once before Thee lies;

And every thought of every heart

Is open to Thine eyes.

4

Prepare us, Lord, to pray and praise,

With fervent, holy love,

And fit us by Thy word of grace

To worship Thee above.
