1 To the Lord’s great army
Do you now belong?
In the daily conflict
Are you brave and strong?
To your Lord and Master
Are you always true?
With a love unfailing
God is watching you.

Chorus:
God is watching you,
God is watching you;
To your Lord and Master
Faithful be and true
God is watching you,
God is watching you;
With a love unfailing
God is watching you.

2 Troubles and temptations
Will your way beset;
With a faith unflinching
They must all be met,
Trust your mighty Captain,
He will bear you thro’;
With a love unfailing
God is watching you. [Chorus]

3 Like your blessed Master,
Do you try to win
Souls that dwell in darkness,
From the ways of sin?
Are you ever striving
All His will to do?
With a love unfailing
God is watching you. [Chorus]
