2 Chronicles 16:9: The eyes of the Lord run to and fro, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)

Religion

O Thou, whose eyes run to and fro
To mark Thy worshippers below,
Who Thee sincerely love,
Thou dost in their behalf appear,
While sin, the world, and hell are near,
And hide their lives above.

Omniscient God, to me impart
The blessing of an upright heart,
And then Thine eyes will see
With kind regard my favour'd soul.
And Jesus will put forth His whole
Omnipotence in me.
