The Lord Keep Watch

Verse 1

Go thou thy way, and I go mine— Apart, yet not afar; Only a thin veil hangs between The pathways where we are. And “God keep watch ’tween thee and me”— This is my earnest prayer; He looks thy way, He looketh mine, And keeps us near, and keeps us near.

Verse 2

I know not where thy road may lie, Or which way mine will be: If mine will lead thro’ parching sands, And thine beside the sea; Yet "God keep watch ’tween thee and me"— So shall we never fear; He holds thy hand, He claspeth mine, And keeps us near, and keeps us near.
