Sacred Blessings

Verse 1

Father Divine, thy piercing eye Sees thro' the darkest night; In deep retirement thou art nigh, With heart-discerning sight.

Verse 2

There may thy piercing eye survey My solemn homage paid, With ev'ry morning's dawning ray, And ev'ry evening's shade.

Verse 3

Oh, let thy own celestial fire The incense still inflame; While my warm vows to thee aspire, Thro' my Redeemer's name.

Verse 4

So shall the visits of thy love My soul in secret bless; So shalt thou deign in worlds above, Thy suppliant to confess.
