The Lord beholds what mortals do,
All things are open to his view;
Our words and thoughts and actions lie,
Exposed to his omniscient eye.
The secret sigh, the deep-fetched groan,
Rise with acceptance to his throne;
he sees the sorrows of his saints,
And bows his ear to their complaints.
He is their shield where danger’s nigh.
Their refuge in adversity;
He guides them through the wilderness,
And will with endless glory bless.
What earth began will heaven complete,
Where all the kindred souls shall meet;
Praise then will be their sole employ,
And every grief be turned to joy.
