There is a God in heaven I know
Who watches me where'er I go
Listens to every word I say
Sees my doing night and day
Reads my thoughts and motives too
Knows the reason for things I do
Knows my weakness and my strength
At my sins he never winks.
Gives me all the strength I need
If I at his table feed
Guides me in the narrow way
Watches o'er me day by day
With discipline without a lack
Lovingly he calls me back.
When my heart would go astray
From His blessed holy way.
