753. Precious promise God hath given

1 Precious promise God hath given
To the weary passer-by,
All the way from earth to Heaven;
I will guide thee with mine eye.

Refrain:
I will guide thee, I will guide thee,
I will guide thee with mine eye;
All the way from earth to Heaven,
I will guide thee with mine eye.

2 When temptations almost win thee,
And thy trusted watchers 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 trusted leader calling:
I will guide thee with mine eye.
