Representative Text

1 All along on the road to the soul's true abode,
There’s an Eye watching you;
Ev’ry step that you take this great Eye is awake,
There’s an Eye watching you.

Refrain:
Watching you, watching you,
Ev’ry day mind the course you pursue;
Watching you, watching you,
There’s an all-seeing Eye watching you.

2 As you make life’s great fight, keep the pathway of right,
There’s an Eye watching you;
God will warn not to go in the path of the foe,
There’s an Eye watching you. [Refrain]

3 Fix your mind on the goal, that sweet home of the soul,
There’s an Eye watching you;
Never turn from the way to the kingdom of day,
There’s an Eye watching you. [Refrain]
