He Watches Over Israel

He watches over Israel, and sweeps The fulness of His mercy into one Great ocean of eternal deeps; No helm need I, no guide, When at my side Is the Maker of a hundred suns.
He watches over Israel, nor sleeps, Lest I should stumble in the closing dark, Like some poor leper as he creeps By rugged rut or notch. Without His watch, My faltering feet would never reach the mark.
He watches over Israel, and keeps The greatness of His mercy to the close; He slumbers not, nor sleeps. In all my little flight, By noon or night, I know that He will lead me to repose.
