Precious promise God hath given To the weary passerby; On the way from earth to heaven "I will guide thee with mine eye." I will guide thee, I will guide thee, I will guide thee with mine eye. On the way from earth to heaven I will guide thee with mine eye. When temptations almost win thee And they trusted watchers fly Let this promise ring within thee "I will guide thee with mine eye." (chorus) 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." (chorus) When the shades of life are falling And the hour has come to die, Hear thy trusty pilot calling "I will guide thee with mine eye." (chorus)
