A thousand eyes watch over me,
a thousand wings my shield,
a host of angels hovering,
on feathered winds they steal.

With every move I brush against
the pinions of their gaze,
and bordered by a downy edge
I walk the dusty ways.

Before me and behind they go;
they circle me about,
and every breeze that whispers low
is comfort in my doubt

that I am held in tenderness
and touched by love unseen,
that all this world of wilderness—
and I—have been redeemed.
