Mine eyes run to and fro through¤out the ¤earth
In all anx¤i¤e¤ty to find a ¤man
Who will in deed and truth ful¤fill My will,
And car¤ry out My pur¤pose and My ¤plan.

I looked and saw the hedge all bro¤ken ¤down,
The gap, un¤chal¤lenged, o¤pen stood to ¤view.
I saw in sore dis¤tress that faith¤ful men,
Who bear the bur¤den of the Lord, are ¤few.

I fain would spare that fair, de¤light¤some ¤land
So sa¤cred bought by blood; ’tis hal¤lowed ¤ground.
Marked by the foot¤steps of My Ho¤ly One.
To save My her¤i¤tage; can one be ¤found?

I sought, and still I seek and long to ¤see
That which My soul de¤lights to look up¤¤on,
A man to stand be¤fore Me in the gap,
The great de¤liv¤’rance wrought, the bat¤tle ¤won.

To save that land, I gave in sac¤ri¤¤fice,
My glo¤ry, My de¤light, My wor¤thy ¤Son.
My heart, My heart is pained to find a man.
Shall Heav’n la¤ment with Me in find¤ing ¤none?
