573 | The Hymnal#574 | 575 |
1 There is an eye that never sleeps
Beneath the wing of night;
There is an ear that never shuts
When sink the beams of light;
2 There is an arm that never tires
When human strength gives way;
There is a love that never fails
When earthly love decays.
3 That eye is fixed on seraph throngs;
That arm upholds the sky;
That ear is filled with angel songs;
That love is throned on high.
4 But there's a power that man can wield
When mortal aid is vain,
That eye, that arm, that love to reach,
That listening ear to gain.
5 That power is prayer, which soars on high,
Through Jesus to the throne,
And moves the hand which moves the world,
To bring salvation down.
Amen.
