THERE is an eye that's ever bending
O'er the objects of His care,
Care, more fixed than if were tending
Hosts of guardian angels there;
There is a Heart that's ever beating
With a pulse of love intense,
Love, that knows no change or fleeting,
Fixed and full, profound, immense.
Hast thou known the rapturous feeling
To be loved with Such a love?
Heard the Spirit's voice revealing
Of that Heart enthroned above?
Listening to that voice disclosing
Love divine which conquered sin?
Hast thou felt 'a deep reposing
Fill the weary hearty within?
Jesus! Name all names excelling,
How can such as we declare
What the choir of Heaven swelling
Scarce can fully sound forth there?
Yet, for us this name was taken
By the glorious lowly babe,
When Jehovah had partaken
Flesh and blood, our souls to save.
