Lord smile joys tears nigh morn griefs woes stars say

[Illustration: Sunset; lake in foreground; moon and stars.]

When the stars, at set of sun,
Watch you from on high;
When the light of morn has come,
Think the Lord is nigh

All you do, and all you say,
He can see and hear;
When you work and when you play,
Think the Lord is near.

All your joys and griefs he knows,
Sees each smile and tear;
When to him you tell your woes,
Know the Lord will hear
