CCLX. Watch'd by the world's malignant eye

1 Watch'd by the world’s malignant eye,
Who load us with reproach and shame:
As servants of the Lord most high,
As zealous for his glorious name,
We ought in all his paths to move,
With holy fear and humble love.

2 That wisdom, Lord, on us bestow,
From every evil to depart;
To stop the mouth of every foe,
While, upright both in life and heart,
The proofs of godly fear we give,
And shew them, how the Christians live.
