The upward glancing of an eye
When none but God is near.

Additional quotes by James Montgomery

When the good man yields his breath
(For the good man never dies).

Bliss in possession will not last;
Remembered joys are never past;
At once the fountain, stream, and sea,
They were, they are, they yet shall be.

'T is not the whole of life to live,
Nor all of death to die.

Prayer is the burden of a sigh, The falling of a tear, The upward glancing of an eye When none but God is near. - James Montgomery
