THE EVER-PRESENT GOD.
“Inall my vast concerns with Thee,In vain my soul would tryTo shun Thy presence, Lord, or fleeThe notice of Thine eye.“Thy all-surrounding sight surveysMy rising and my rest,My public walks, my private ways,And secrets of my breast.“My thoughts lie open to the LordBefore they’re formed within;And ere my lips pronounce the word,He knows the sense I mean.”
