There Is an Eye that Never Sleeps

James Cowden Wallace • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 121:4

Verse 1

There is an Eye that never sleeps Beneath the wing of night; There is an Ear that never shuts When sink the beams of light.

Verse 2

There is an Arm that never tires When human strength gives way; There is a Love that never fails When earthly loves decay.

Verse 3

But there's a power which man can wield When mortal aid is vain, That Eye, that Arm, that Love to reach, That listening Ear to gain.

Verse 4

That power is prayer, which soars on high, Through Jesus, to the throne, And moves the Hand which moves the world, To bring salvation down!

Verse 5

Amen.
