Precious promise God doth give thee (revised)

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.

When thy heart is badly shaken

Doubts arise

and fainting’s nigh

Take His promise

thy solution:

“I will guide thee with Mine eye.”

When temptations fierce assail thee

When thy trusted helpers fly

Thy heart bolster with this surety:

“I will guide thee with Mine eye.”

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.”

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.”

May God be thy spirit’s gladness

Thy heart’s treasure

the Most High;

Fellowship

in utmost closeness

In the guidance of His eye.
