GOD’S ALL-SEEING EYE
When busy scheming to gather gold,
And poor, helpless souls around ye die
When secretly your ends are gained,
You’re watched by God’s all-seeing eye.
When your garner’s full of golden grain,
And at your door a poor beggar lies,
When to him ye say, “Be gone, ye scamp!”
You’re watched by god’s all-seeing eye.
When gathered round the festive board,
A poor starving child for help does cry;
When you give away the fallen crumb,
You’re watched by God’s all-seeing eye.
When auld and dune, and shoved aside,
And your weel-aff frien’s a’ pass ye by,
When sighing sair for your hame abune,
You’re watched by God’s all-seeing eye.
When ye bow the knee unto the Lord,
Who rules the earth, the sea, and sky,
When you thank him for your daily bread,
You’re watched by God’s all-seeing eye.
