ALWAYS IN GOD'S SIGHT; OR, THE EVENING STAR.
Behold yon star, that gleams and sparkles thro'The firmament, like some unwearied eye
Of Love, bent on thee ever silently,
As mindful of the least thing thou can'st do!
Believe it such; believe that it can tru-
Ly see thy thoughts: then will thy heart be by
Its pure light filled, as thine eye outwardly;
Then wilt thou look up at it as unto
His father's eye the little child, and bend
Thy head in awe, as fearful to offend;
And then 'twill be the eye of God! yea, his
Own loving eye, to guide thee and defend;
And all thy dear one's eyes gaze down in this
One star of love, (in which all heaven's bliss
Is summed for thee,) still with thee to the end!
