Representative Text

1 At home or abroad, on land or on sea
Three worlds are all watching, yes watching e'en me.
Eternity bound, some path I must take.
They're watching to see the choice that I make.

Chorus:
Eternity bound, three worlds watching me—
What a wonderful, wonderful life this must be,
I'll write on my banners in letters that shine,
"Saved to the uttermost, Jesus is mine."

2 My ev'ryday life is open to view,
I'm watched by the false, I am watched by the true.
And some, without doubt, read this life of mine,
Far more than they do the Volume divine. [Chorus]

3 The tempter who comes from regions below,
Close watches my path as he walks to and fro;
He leads a vile host at work to ensnare,
And drag many down to realms of despair. [Chorus]

4 Bright angels whose hands sweep harps of pure gold,
Oft act as my escort, my life they behold;
My Father looks down, He hears ev'ry call,
With Him at my side I triumph o'er all. [Chorus]
