Precious promise God doth give thee,
Thou, the weary passerby,
On the way from earth to glory:
“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 glory,
I will guide thee with Mine eye.

2

When temptations fierce assail thee,
When thy trusted helpers 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 faithful Pilot calling,
“I will guide thee with Mine eye.”

Revised version:

1. Precious promise God doth give thee,

Thou, the weary passerby,

God has spoken very plainly:

"I will guide thee with Mine eye."

Chorus:

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.

2. When thy heart is badly shaken,

Doubts arise, and fainting's nigh,

Take His promise, thy solution:

"I will guide thee with Mine eye."

3. When temptations fierce assail thee,

When thy trusted helpers fly,

Thy heart bolster with this surety:

"I will guide thee with Mine eye."

4. 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."

5. 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."

6. May God be thy spirit's gladness,

Thy heart's treasure, the Most High;

Fellowship, in utmost closeness,

In the guidance of His eye.
