'Thou, God, Seest Me.' by Anonymous

Thine eye is on me always,Thou knowest the way I take;Thou seest me when I’m sleeping,Thou seest me when I wake.Thine arm is round about me,Thy hand is underneath;Thy love will still preserve me,If I Thy laws do keep.Thou art my present helper,—Be Thou my daily guide;[Pg 009]Then I’ll be safe for ever,Whatever may betide.Oh! help me, dearest Father,To walk in wisdom’s way,That I, Thy loving child, may beThrough every future day,And, by my loving actions, proveThat He who guardeth me is Love.
