Watched by the World’s Malignant Eye

Watched by the world’s ma­lig­nant eye

Who load us with re­proach and shame.

As serv­ants of the Lord most high

As zea­lous for His glo­ri­ous name

We ought in all His paths to move

With ho­ly fear and hum­ble love.

That wis­dom

Lord

on us be­stow

From ev­ery ev­il to de­part;

To stop the mouth of ev­ery foe

While

up­right both in life and heart

The proofs of god­ly fear we give

And show them how the Christ­ians live.
