Every look and motion
Meets our Fathers sight.
From our ear lest breathing

Every sound we utter
Meets our Fathers ear.
Through our earthly journey,
Wheiesoe'r we go,
Every thought and feeling
Doth our Father know.
Let rs then be careful
That our looks shall be,
Brave and kind and cheerful,
For our Lord t. see.
Let us guard each accent
With a holy fear,
Fit our every saying
For our Lord To hca-
