Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #248 (1845) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship First Line: Father Divine, thy piercing eye Lyrics: 1 Father Divine, thy piercing eye
Sees thro' the darkest night;
In deep retirement thou art nigh,
With heart-discerning sight.
2 There may thy piercing eye survey
My solemn homage paid,
With ev'ry morning's dawning ray,
And ev'ry evening's shade.
3 Oh, let thy own celestial fire
The incense still inflame;
While my warm vows to thee aspire,
Thro' my Redeemer's name.
4 So shall the visits of thy love
My soul in secret bless;
So shalt thou deign in worlds above,
Thy suppliant to confess. Topics: The Christain His Duty and Graces; Prayer Scripture: Matthew 6:6 Languages: English
